Stay tuned tomorrow and I might do a series on their private jets if I procrastinate writing again.
HYPOTHETICALLY, the EU could pass sanctions on these oligarchs tomorrow and the European countries where some of these yachts are docked COULD make a move to seize them.
Once you are out of international waters and docked up, you have to follow the rules/regulations of that country.
I don't have a SoundCloud but I am being sued by a private intelligence consultant whose services many of the Russian oligarchs have used, after I wrote about his dealings:
Let's back up for a second. As of just a few weeks ago, NSO Group said that Pegasus *physically* couldn't operate on Israeli phone numbers. That massive lie is confirmed by this investigation and it is being buried. BUT
How much can we trust the Israeli investigation of their own use of Pegasus? There are obvious conflicts.
"Defendants’ misconduct has...instigated calls around the world for the imposition of additional sanctions and investigations into the pervasive misuse of Defendants’ products to commit human rights abuses." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Apple's discovery wishlist is... 👀
"NSO’s contacts with U.S.-based clients and potential clients" is particularly interesting. Apple is on the record saying NSO had U.S. clients now... Are they referring to FBI, which, by all accounts, didn't actually deploy anything?
I filed a FOIA request in 2020 seeking "All email correspondence with the keywords "Westbridge Technologies", or "NSO Group" including attachments, from 1st January 2015..."
NYPD said they were "unable to locate records responsive to your request."
Here's their response: "In regard to the document(s) which you requested, this unit is unable to locate records responsive to your request based on the information you provided." a860-openrecords.nyc.gov/request/view/F…
A bombshell report out of Israel says that Israeli police used NSO Group's Pegasus to spy on businessmen, activists, journalists, politicians, and even Prime Minister Netanyahu's family.
Netanyahu made Pegasus a cornerstone of his diplomacy, signing billion-dollar deals with Pegasus secretly tucked in, to warm relations in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Back at home, the police were spying on his family using... Pegasus.
Absolutely despicable. Israeli police used Pegasus spyware to spy on disabled activists. (Google Translate)
