Poland’s Central Anticorruption Bureau (CAB) purchased the controversial Pegasus spyware from the Israeli NSO Group just several months after then prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with his Polish counterpart Mateusz Morawiecki in 2017, the Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper reports.
The software was used to hack the phones of several prominent Polish opposition figures, according to the Associated Press.
While the spyware was purchased by the CAB, the funds used were from the Justice Ministry, which is controlled by Morawiecki’s party.
