Morocco Allegedly Targeted Journalist with Pegasus | Amsterdam News

Morocco’s intelligence agency allegedly targeted Dutch journalist Koen Greven with Pegasus spyware between 2018 and 2019, part of a sweeping global operation that reportedly aimed at over 12,000 devices across 20 countries. Greven, who covered Moroccan protests, says he wasn’t surprised—Moroccan security even warned him to leave the country and sometimes accompanied his reporting. Though he’s unsure if his phone was actually hacked, he’s since switched numbers. Morocco denies using Pegasus and has sued European outlets over similar claims, but those cases fizzled. This case underscores the murky world of government surveillance and the fragile line between journalism and state espionage.
