Hanan Elatr Khashoggi alleges Pegasus spyware infected her phones in April 2018, preceding her husband’s murder, prompting French legal scrutiny of Saudi-linked surveillance.
- On Monday, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi filed a legal complaint in France accusing Saudi Arabia of using Israeli spyware to steal data from her phones before her husband was killed, with some theft occurring while she repeatedly landed in France as an air hostess.
- Citizen Lab found her two telephones were infected by Pegasus in April 2018, and the complaint says the infection coincided with her interrogation at a United Arab Emirates airport.
- Amnesty International reported that Pegasus has 11 government clients and can access phone cameras, microphones, and data, while NSO Group, Israel-based maker of Pegasus, faces lawsuits including a US injunction barring targeting of WhatsApp users.
- The French judiciary will now decide whether to open an investigation into the complaint, with attorneys William Bourdon and Vincent Brengarth saying it would be unthinkable not to link the interception to the murder.
- In Washington, the case has drawn attention after a US intelligence assessment named Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and US President Donald Trump defended the prince last month.
