Moroccan investigative journalist and human rights activist
France and Morocco are expanding security, energy and investment cooperation amid Pegasus spyware allegations. Lecornu’s visit signals a renewed strategic partnership as Paris seeks stability in North Africa and Rabat presses economic and technological collaboration.
Amnesty International has published a detailed report alleging that Moroccan authorities use Pegasus spyware and a broad surveillance network to monitor journalists and activists. The findings cite a whistleblower from the DGST, leaked documents, and collaborations with multiple international vendors. Morocco denies the accusations.
