Spain’s Pegasus spyware investigation has stalled once more after Israel again refused to cooperate with the country’s High Court, forcing judges to postpone the case.
Spanish authorities are probing the alleged use of Pegasus, surveillance software developed by Israel’s NSO Group, to spy on senior government officials.
Forensic investigations earlier confirmed that the mobile phones of top ministers, including the prime minister, were infected for more than a year.
Despite repeated requests, Israel has declined to authorise Spanish judges to question Israeli officials or NSO executives. Under Israeli law, Pegasus is classified as a defence export, meaning judicial cooperation requires government approval.
The refusal has delayed Spain’s efforts to identify who ordered the surveillance and how the breach occurred.
The case forms part of wider global scrutiny of Pegasus, which has been linked to spying scandals in dozens of countries and thousands of suspected targets worldwide.
Israeli authorities deny responsibility and say they are not legally required to assist. NSO Group maintains its software is sold only to governments for lawful security purposes.
