EU launches checks on journalists spying software

(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, JULY 20 - "Commissioner Breton will ask the services of dg Connect to work" on the story of journalists' espionage with Pegasus software. This was announced by the EU Justice Commissioner, Didier Reynders, who, pressed by questions about the rumor of a Brussels investigation into the matter, explained that the issue was dealt with by the college of commissioners. "We are starting to gather information to understand what the application can be used for. But we will use multiple sources, from judicial ones to data protection authorities, to verify the robustness of the information. If true, it would be unacceptable." (HANDLE).
