In this file photo taken on July 30, 2019 Princess Haya Bint al-Hussein of Jordan leaves the High Court in London. – Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum authorised the use of spying software to hack the phone of his ex-wife, according to a British court ruling published on Wednesday.
The sheikh, 72 — the vice-president and prime minister of the UAE — gave his “express or implied authority” for 47-year-old Princess Haya’s phone to be hacked with the software that is only available to governments, the High Court ruling said. In a statement, London’s Metropolitan police said specialist detectives had launched an investigation last year into the accusations.
“All lines of inquiry were explored as far as possible,” the Met said, noting that at the time there were “no further investigative opportunities”. The use of the Israeli-developed Pegasus software, which can track a person’s location and read texts and emails, was revealed to Princess Haya’s legal team in August 2020 following a tip-off by lawyer Cherie Blair, whose husband is former prime minister Tony Blair.
