MADRID, April 18 — Catalonia’s regional leader accused the Spanish government today of spying on its citizens after a rights group said his phone and dozens more belonging to Catalan pro-independence figures had been infected with spyware used by sovereign states.

Describing the use of surveillance software as crossing a “red line”, he demanded explanations from the Spanish government.Almost all of the infections took place between 2017 and 2020, Citizen Lab said, in the wake of a failed independence bid by Catalonia that plunged Spain into its worst political crisis in years.

At that time, Interior Minister Fernando Marlaska denied the Spanish government or its intelligence services had any involvement.
