Spanish Media Investigation Exposes Morocco’s Electronic Espionage and Targeting of Key Figures

 



The Spanish media outlet *Infobae España*, in an investigative report, has exposed what it describes as the methods used by the Moroccan regime to exert pressure and engage in political maneuvering through extensive electronic surveillance, targeting security officials, the flow of tons of hashish into Europe, allegations of cooperation between Moroccan gendarmerie officers and networks involved in drug trafficking, as well as the use of migration and African migrants as instruments of political pressure.**

 Details of the Moroccan regime’s alleged maneuvers emerge in an investigation published yesterday by *Infobae España*, written by journalist David Fernández, under the title “Morocco: A Story of Spies, Cyber Hackers, Waves of Migration and Thousands of Tons of Hashish.” The report draws on intelligence and security sources, official data, and journalistic investigations examining the activities of Moroccan state agencies in the areas of espionage, drugs and migration.**

 The investigation revealed that Moroccan intelligence agencies carried out 768 cyberattacks targeting 250 Spanish phones between May 2018 and June 2019 using Pegasus spyware. The targets were not limited to political figures, but also included security officials who were cooperating with Moroccan authorities on counterterrorism, drug trafficking and migration-related matters.**
