Poland’s prosecutor general has told the parliament that powerful Pegasus spyware was used against hundreds of people under the former government in Poland, among them elected officials
Poland's prosecutor general told the parliament on Wednesday that powerful Pegasus spyware was used against hundreds of people under the former government in Poland, among them elected officials. Adam Bodnar told lawmakers that he found the scale of the surveillance “shocking and depressing.” “It is sad for me that even in this room I am speaking to people who were victims of this system,” Bodnar told the Sejm, the lower house of parliament.
Its use in Poland under the previous government, led by the Law and Justice party, resulted in accusations that the authorities were abusing power and eroding democratic guardrails. Investigations into the use of the powerful spyware were launched after Prime Minister Donald Tusk took office in December as the head of a three-party pro-European Union coalition.
