Israeli government raids NSO Group offices
Officials from multiple Israeli government agencies have raided today the offices of surveillance software vendor NSO Group, the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced today.
The raids have taken place after a consortium of international journalists revealed earlier this month that NSO Group had sold access to its software —the Pegasus platform— to oppressive governments across the world, which abused it to spy on journalists, human rights activists, and political rivals.
“We can confirm that representatives from the Israeli Ministry of Defense visited our offices,” an NSO spokesperson confirmed to The Record today earlier today.
“We welcome their inspection,” the NSO Group said.
“The company is working in full transparency with the Israeli authorities. We are confident that this inspection will prove the facts are as declared repeatedly by the company against the false allegations made against us in the recent media attacks.”
The raids targeted NSO Group’s Herzliya offices, near the city of Tel Aviv, sources have told The Record.
