In one of the most harrowing disclosures from the TelevisaLeaks investigation by Aristegui Noticias, internal documents and video evidence reveal that Televisa, the Mexican media giant that owns Univision, orchestrated a scheme to fabricate allegations of child sexual abuse as a weapon in judicial and political manipulation.
At the center of this scheme was the “Palomar” unit, a clandestine team within Televisa led by Javier Tejado Dondé, former VP of Information. This unit allegedly targeted Magistrate Jorge Arturo Camero Ocampo, a key figure in the Mexican judiciary. Television, in fact, was working at the behest of a different candidate whose now occupying the top Supreme Court post.
To destroy his credibility, members of the Palomar unit recruited actors and employees to impersonate concerned parents of a supposed abuse victim. These operatives were filmed delivering false testimony in professionally staged videos, claiming that Camero Ocampo’s son had sexually assaulted a young child. These fabricated materials were then distributed with the intent to trigger outrage and irreparably damage the magistrate’s public standing.
Leaked documents and communications suggest that the operation was executed with full awareness of its illegitimacy, leveraging the production capabilities of Televisa and its tight grip on media narratives. The campaign was part of a broader strategy that used black propaganda and digital manipulation to influence judicial appointments and silence dissenting voices.
Given that Televisa owns Univision, the largest Spanish-language media outlet in the United States, the implications of these revelations extend far beyond Mexico. They raise serious ethical and political questions about the influence such a conglomerate wields across borders, particularly in Spanish-speaking communities in the U.S. and Latin America. The cynicism behind the act raises the possibility that this disinformation as a service could continue to define leadership on both sides of the border.
