This operation targeting high ranking pro-independence Catalan leaders would make it the biggest illegal spy-op in Europe’s history, and among some of the biggest confirmed initiatives in the world. As per the article:
>The Citizen Lab, in collaboration with Catalan civil society groups, has identified at least 65 individuals targeted or infected with mercenary spyware.
>At least 63 were targeted or infected with Pegasus, and four others with Candiru. At least two were targeted or infected with both.
>Victims included Members of the European Parliament, Catalan Presidents, legislators, jurists, and members of civil society organisations. Family members were also infected in some cases.
>We identified evidence of HOMAGE, a previously-undisclosed iOS zero-click vulnerability used by NSO Group that was effective against some versions prior to 13.2.
>The Citizen Lab is not conclusively attributing the operations to a specific entity, but strong circumstantial evidence suggests a nexus with Spanish authorities.
>We shared a selection of Pegasus cases with Amnesty International’s Tech Lab, which independently validated our forensic methodology.
Thats what you get for never sufficiently eliminating the fascist rot within the state structure after franco
Wasn’t that already obvious? I think I saw that happen in 2014. The phone of a high ranking independence movement member just blew up with fake phone calls every 30 seconds. That’s when I knew I never wanted to get in trouble in Spain
>The Citizen Lab is not conclusively attributing the operations to a specific entity, but strong circumstantial evidence suggests a nexus with Spanish authorities.
Is that what [Elies Campo](https://twitter.com/elies) thinks? The independentist who is the brain behind this false flag operation thinks this?

Putin supports Catalan independence.
Ever wondered why?
