"The widow of slain Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi filed a legal complaint in France on Monday accusing Saudi Arabia of using Israeli spyware to steal data from her phones before he was killed, her lawyers said. Hanan Elatr Khashoggi, whose husband was murdered at the kingdom's Istanbul consulate in October 2018, alleged her data was in part stolen in France, where she landed repeatedly while working as an air hostess, according to a copy of the complaint seen by AFP."
"Citizen Lab, a specialised research body at the University of Toronto, found that her two telephones were infected by Pegasus, a tool made by Israel-based firm NSO Group, in April 2018, the complaint showed. It said the infection coincided with her interrogation at an airport in the United Arab Emirates, a staunch ally of Saudi Arabia. "It would be unthinkable not to establish a link between this interception (of information) and the actions that led to the murder""
Hanan Elatr Khashoggi filed a legal complaint in France accusing Saudi Arabia of using Israeli-made Pegasus spyware to steal data from her phones prior to Jamal Khashoggi's October 2018 killing. Citizen Lab found both of her telephones infected in April 2018, which the complaint says coincided with her interrogation at a UAE airport. Her lawyers contend the interception of information is linked to the actions that led to his murder. The French judiciary will decide whether to open an investigation. Amnesty has identified multiple government clients of Pegasus, and a US assessment linked the killing to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
