Move comes after media reports claim Hungarian journalists, lawyers and critics of PM Viktor Orban targeted by spyware.
Hungarian prosecutors have opened a probe into suspected unlawful surveillance following multiple complaints in the wake of allegations of misuse of the Israeli-made Pegasus spyware. The Budapest Regional Investigation Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement on Thursday that the investigation would examine “the so-called Pegasus case, under the suspicion of the crime of gathering unauthorised secret information”. “The task of the investigation is to establish the facts and to determine whether and, if so, what crime has taken place,” it added.More Related News
