A fake Facebook account impersonating Deicy Jiménez is circulating AI-generated photos and chats linking her to former President Gustavo Petro, an effort authorities are investigating as a possible attempt to derail the judicial probe into the “sexocontratos” scandal. The profile, created on the same night Jiménez testified at the Fiscalía General de la Nación, has drawn thousands of interactions while publishing fabricated content designed to mimic her official posts.
Jiménez, who first revealed the alleged exchange of state contracts for sexual favors in SEMANA, publicly denounced the impersonation account through her official Instagram on Thursday, stating plainly that she does not operate the Facebook profile. The fake account appeared hours after she delivered her mobile phone to prosecutors as key material evidence in the case.
The Impersonation Account Emerges During Testimony
El Tiempo traced the fraudulent profile and established that it was created on Facebook on the night of Thursday, November 5, with its last update roughly 12 hours later. By publication time, the account had accumulated 968 followers and had been fed approximately five photos taken from Jiménez’s official profile, along with several videos, some false or manipulated, SEMANA reported.
Among the fabricated material are AI-generated images showing Jiménez with Petro and a photo depicting her purchasing a car. The account also hosts videos of other women and a link to a WhatsApp number, El Tiempo reported. Jiménez used an Instagram story to alert the country that the Facebook profile is not hers, and the fake account has since drawn thousands of comments and shares.
Jiménez Delivers Phone Amid Court-Ordered Extraction
On November 5, Jiménez appeared at the Fiscalía General de la Nación to hand over her mobile device, which prosecutors consider a key piece of material evidence. Later that day, she gave a marathon statement that extended until midnight, during which—at the request of the Supreme Court—authorities extracted photos, chats, and videos from the phone through technical and forensic means, El Tiempo reported.
After leaving the prosecutor’s office, Jiménez posted a message on her official account: “Yo le cumplo a mi país. Esto no se trata de si un señor xx o no. No desviemos el tema. Se trata de una red de la que decidí no hacer parte y de una verdad que merece ser denunciada.”
Prosecutors Verify Claims of Quid Pro Quo Contracts
Jiménez has identified Petro as the alleged architect of a scheme to secure state contracts for her in exchange for sexual favors. SEMANA reported that a chat attributed to Petro shows him ordering Angie Rodríguez to maintain Jiménez’s appointment “en mi interior.” The Fiscalía is investigating to corroborate the veracity of this complaint.
Among the contracts Jiménez held, SEMANA highlighted a legislative work unit (UTL) position in the office of Senator María José Pizarro in the Senate of the Republic, valued at 34 million pesos, which supported the First Vice Presidency of the Senate led by the Pacto Histórico congresswoman. The Supreme Court has ordered an inspection of Congress in connection with the “sexocontratos” case.
Authorities Probe the Fake Account’s Origins
Prosecutors are examining whether the creation of the false profile aims to confuse public opinion, plant apocryphal evidence, and divert the ongoing judicial inquiries, SEMANA reported. The timing carries procedural weight because Jiménez has used her official Instagram account, @deicyjimenez_, to publish material she says proves her relationship with Petro, including a video released after her testimony.
As of publication, authorities have not established who created the account, though they warn of its potential impact on a live judicial process. The profile remains active.
Who Created the Fake Deicy Jiménez Profile?
What exactly is the fake account publishing? According to El Tiempo and SEMANA, the profile posts AI-generated photos and videos of Jiménez alongside Petro, fabricated chats, and an image of her buying a car, alongside content unrelated to her.
Why does the timing matter? The account appeared on November 5, the same night Jiménez testified until midnight at the Fiscalía and surrendered her phone, leading authorities to investigate whether the impersonation seeks to undermine evidence she has submitted through her verified channels.
What has Jiménez provided as evidence? On November 5, she delivered her mobile phone to the Fiscalía General de la Nación, where forensic experts extracted photos, chats, and videos at the Supreme Court’s request, El Tiempo reported.
Who created the fake Facebook profile remains unknown, and authorities have not yet determined whether the account will succeed in muddying the investigation into the “sexocontratos” allegations.
