A Moroccan intelligence insider has revealed details about his government’s use of hacking software, including Israeli-manufactured Pegasus spyware, to track journalists, human right defenders and foreign officials.
The whistleblower’s revelations were reported in an investigation published on Thursday by Forbidden Stories, Amnesty and 13 media organisations.
Investigative reporting in 2021 accused Morocco of having used the Israeli-manufactured hacking tool for spying on its critics as well as allies - claims that Rabat denied at the time.
The former Moroccan intelligence officer said he had been witness to much of Morocco’s relationship with Pegasus, from its introduction to Moroccan officials to its utilisation.
Moroccan government is deeply tied to the Zionist entity. Their use of Pegasus has been known for many years, including allegedly infecting the phone of Spain’s PM Pedro Sanchez. But the worst of this relation with the Zionazis is how, in these past months, they have been making purchases of Elbit drones and using them to strike the opposition in Western Sahara. Truly despicable.
