Spanish law firm Ernesto Díaz-Bastien y Abogados, SLP (EDBA) said today it will file, on behalf of Morocco, legal actions in Spanish courts based on “an alleged illegal espionage of Spanish citizens,” as the pegasus case drags on.
“The Kingdom of Morocco has never acquired or used the Pegasus program. The recent information published on this issue is false and malicious, ”said a statement from the law firm.
“Those who claim the contrary will have to answer in court,” the statement continued.
Morocco had already pressed charges 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 based 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.
