"Dutch secret services have used the controversial Israeli spyware known as Pegasus to hack targets including the country's most-wanted criminal, a news report said on Thursday.
The Netherlands' AIVD secret service in 2019 used the software bought from Israel's NSO Group to access fugitive alleged drugs kingpin Ridouan Taghi, the Volkskrant daily reported.
Pegasus, which can switch on a phone's camera or microphone and harvest its data, was engulfed in controversy last July after several media outlets reported that governments around the world had used it to spy on opponents."
"The newspaper said the AIVD used Pegasus to spy on Taghi "among others" but did not say who else may have been targeted.
The use of the software has raised eyebrows in the privacy-sensitive Netherlands."
