Calcalist to investigate its own reporting after government probes refute claims

The Calcalist news outlet says it will investigate its own reporting after government probes refute the site’s claims about police spying.

Calcalist said earlier this month that police had used NSO Group spyware to illicitly spy on dozens of Israeli civilians in an explosive, unsourced report.

A probe led by the deputy attorney general, alongside Shin Bet and Mossad investigators, said today it had found no evidence of wrongdoing. A police probe also found no serious problems.

“The findings necessitate a new investigation into the findings and claims we published,” Calcalist says, while saying some of the reporting has been verified and there are still problems with police wiretapping.
