Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk accused Israel on Monday of receiving sensitive data on Polish opposition members collected by the Israeli Pegasus spyware. The accusation came as the findings of a two-year parliamentary inquiry into the previous government's use of Pegasus were released.
According to the inquiry's findings, the former government, led by the Law and Justice party, spent 30 million zloty on the surveillance system. The spyware was allegedly used to monitor opposition figures and members of the judiciary who opposed the government's policies.
"Imagine, the people responsible for the justice system handed over sensitive data of Polish citizens to a foreign country, Israel," Tusk stated, referring to the inquiry's conclusions.
