Team Jorge exposed in global electoral manipulation investigation
An investigation by The Guardian and Forbidden Stories has uncovered a clandestine network of contractors based in Tel Aviv known as Team Jorge. The group operates as a global political marketing agency specializing in hacking, propaganda, and large-scale electoral manipulation.
Journalists spent six months posing as advisors to a businessman to expose the group's activities. The operation is reportedly led by Tal Hanan, a former Israeli special forces agent who uses the pseudonym “Jorge.” Hanan claims to have manipulated 33 elections worldwide using Big Data and a specialized software called AIMS (Advanced Impact Media Solutions).
The group's clients include states, government-hired mercenaries, and private entities seeking to influence public debate and distort reality through digital disinformation.
