Morocco has brought a civil suit against Mr Cembrero, calling for him to retract his claims that the country used Pegasus against him and to pay legal costs. It also wants the judge in the case to declare that Morocco, which denies it is a client of the Israeli-based company which developed the malware, has not used Pegasus.
Mr Díaz-Bastien’s law company told The Irish Times that it would not respond to requests for information on an ongoing case. Last year, the firm issued a statement describing as “false, malicious and libellous the news against the Kingdom about supposedly illicit surveillance of Spanish citizens.” Rabat has taken legal action three times previously against Mr Cembrero — each time without success — including accusing him of “glorifying terrorism”.
“I am being harassed by a foreign country which has been harassing me for years, and not only through legal means,” Mr Cembrero told The Irish Times. “They are trying to restrict my freedom of speech.”This case takes place against the backdrop of Spain’s complex relationship with Morocco.
