According to the Spanish news agency EFE, the accusations made against Morocco or any other country in relation to the use of Pegasus spyware have been rejected as unfounded by the Spanish government sources.
These sources described any attempt to accuse a third country, especially Morocco, of spying on members of the Spanish Government as “mere speculation”. They do not see any basis for these accusations and believe that they are built on flawed legal and scientific criticism.
Jonathan Scott, a cybersecurity expert from the United States, has recently expressed criticism of the spyware investigations conducted by Citizen Lab, Amnesty International, and Forbidden Stories. He has raised concerns regarding the methodology and scientific shortcomings of their approach, suggesting that their conclusions may be based more on allegations than on science.
In his report, “Exonerating Morocco – Disproving the Spyware,” he stated that Citizen Lab’s allegations are totally unfounded and lack the most basic elements of scientific proof.
U.S. attorney for the New York Bar Tor Ekeland also claimed that the evidence provided by these organizations was inadmissible in a U.S. federal court, as it was based on shoddy science. He pointed out that Citizen Lab’s results cannot be reproduced in any way, which is a red flag.
The report titled “Exonerating Morocco – Disproving the Spyware” asserted that Citizen Lab’s accusations are baseless and devoid of even the most fundamental aspects of scientific evidence
