A video circulating online falsely claiming Colombian politician Cepeda proposed establishing satanic churches nationwide has been debunked as artificial intelligence (AI)-generated. The original video, published in 2025, actually featured Cepeda discussing the trial of Álvaro Uribe regarding alleged witness tampering. Investigations confirmed the manipulated content, with the false claims added through AI technology. The disinformation campaign aimed to discredit Cepeda by associating him with controversial religious practices. La Silla Vacía first reported on the deceptive video and its origins. This incident highlights the growing threat of AI-generated misinformation in political discourse. Authorities are investigating the source and spread of the deepfake.
