Polish leaders are looking into claims by Polish television network TVN that the government's anti-corruption office has purchased the Pegasus system developed by the Israeli NSO in recent months to help track mobile phones of journalists and other civilians and retrieve information from them.
Opposition leaders have expressed concern that the government is using the system to track them, even though the use of spyware without court approval is contrary to the Polish constitution. They also claim that the government took control of the media in Poland by appointing executives on its behalf to state media outlets immediately after taking office in 2015.
