The Moroccan ambassador to Berlin, Zohour Alaoui filed in Germany defamation claims against the German newspaper “Süddeutsche Zeitung GmbH,” for claiming Morocco used the Pegasus spyware against thousands of people.
Süddeutsche Zeitung GmbH had alleged in several reports that Morocco deployed the spyware, wiretapping the cell phones of many politicians, journalists, and officials.
Morocco denied these allegations, saying it never acquired computer software to infiltrate communication devices,” according to a statement from the Moroccan embassy in Berlin.
Morocco had already filed a suit against Amnesty International, Forbidden Stories, Le Monde, Mediapart, and Radio France, belonging to a composium, alleging Moroccan intelligence services used Pegasus against dozens of French journalists and French President Emmanuel Macron.
The claims are founded on a leaked list of 50,000 phone numbers targeted by the Israeli NSO Group Pegasus cellphone surveillance program.
“Morocco has taken its own steps to prove the illegality of the allegations made against it,” Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita.
