AI Summary

Citizen Lab's forensic analysis of MEP Stelios Kouloglou's mobile device confirmed multiple infections with NSO Group's Pegasus spyware while he was serving on the European Parliament's PEGA Committee — the body specifically tasked with investigating illegal use of commercial surveillance tools. The targeting of a spyware investigator with the very tool under investigation underscores the political dimensions of Pegasus deployments. This finding adds direct evidentiary weight to ongoing EU regulatory scrutiny of NSO Group.
