NSO Group: A Spanish Road Trip Planned
June 8, 2022
Spain’s judicial system stretches back centuries. The idea, as I understand it, was for Courts and Tribunals to administer justice in the name of the King of Spain. Now perhaps some of these alcaldes de crimen became frisky; support for the Catholic Church’s Index Librorum Prohibitorum, banishments, property seizures aimed at people of a certain religious persuasion, decisions about precious metals from the lands across the sea, etc., etc.
NSO Group now has an opportunity to interact with Spain’s judiciary up close and personal.
“Spanish Judge to Visit Israel Seeking Testimony from NSO on Pegasus Spyware Use” reports:
The [Spanish] court said that José Luis Calama has decided to lead a judicial commission that will travel to Israel to “take testimony from the CEO of the company that commercializes the Pegasus program.”
The article added:
NSO says that it only sells its Pegasus spyware to governments for security purposes. Pegasus has been linked to the hacking of other political leaders and activists in other countries. NSO has denied playing any part of this apparent misuse of its evasive technology that has come to light thanks to the work of digital-rights groups inspecting individual phones.
I assume that the trappings of the chat will be free of the methodologies used in investigations centuries ago. Probably pencils and papers because iPhones… well, you know.
