The Spanish government will be working in two weeks before the European Parliament’s inquiry commission that is trying to uncover the perpetrator of the hacking of President Pedro Sanchez’s mobile phone using Pegasus. Morocco was accused of being behind this attack.
The National Court has just refused Spanish nationality to an employee of the Moroccan consulate in Madrid, on the grounds that he is a Moroccan intelligence agent who has been under investigation by the National Intelligence Center (CNI) since 2011.
The meeting between Esperanza Casteleiro, director of the Spanish National Intelligence Center (CNI) and her Moroccan counterpart, Abdelatif Hammouchi, in Rabat just over a week ago, put an end to the disagreements between the two countries on the espionage of members of the Spanish government using Pegasus, of which Morocco was suspected of being the instigator.
The Spanish Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, indicated that, according to the technical reports of the National Cryptology Center (CCN) under the National Intelligence Center (CNI), it is "impossible" to know what data was extracted from the mobile phones of President Pedro Sanchez and the ministers, hacked using Pegasus between May and June 2021.
Israeli actress, producer and model Gal Gadot expresses her joy at having made a trip to Morocco and four other countries as part of the filming of the American spy film Heart of Stone.
Morocco has just taken legal action against the Spanish journalist, Ignacio Cembrero , a specialist in the Maghreb, who had accused the kingdom of hacking his phone using the Israeli spyware Pegasus.
The National Intelligence Center (CNI) has assured that Morocco could not have blackmailed Pedro Sanchez with the 2 GB of data hacked from his mobile phone using the Pegasus spyware.
The National Intelligence Center (CNI) has assured that Morocco cannot put pressure on Pedro Sanchez with sensitive information it may have obtained after hacking his phone using the Pegasus spyware.
The Spanish government avoids accusing Morocco without proof of being behind the espionage using the Pegasus software on the phones of President Pedro Sanchez, Defense Minister Margarita Robles, and Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska.
The analysis of the phone of the Spanish Interior Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, revealed that he was spied on with Pegasus on June 7 and 26, 2021, in the midst of a crisis with Morocco, and that more than 6 GB of data were extracted from it.
At the request of Pedro Sanchez, the National Intelligence Center (CNI) continues to analyze the phones of government members, but also of the wife of the President of the Government, Begoña Gómez, in order to ensure that they have not been spied on using Pegasus.
Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares declared on Friday that Spain will not give in to blackmail from anyone, responding to the possibility that Morocco could blackmail Spain with data extracted from Pedro Sanchez’s phone.
