CBA director charged in Pegasus case
Angela P., current head of the legal department at the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, has been subjected to criminal proceedings related to the Pegasus affair. The prosecution announced that charges also concern two former officials of the Warsaw branch of the CBA.
The Pegasus system, which allows for surveillance of mobile phones, became the subject of controversy following revelations that it was used to track journalists, opposition politicians and activists. The matter sparked considerable public interest and attention from international institutions.
The investigation conducted by the prosecution focuses on the circumstances of the software purchase and the manner of its implementation and exploitation by special services. Angela P. holds a key supervisory role at the CBA in overseeing the bureau's legal activities.
The charges against the director and former employees of the Warsaw branch suggest possible irregularities in the acquisition or application of the surveillance system. Details of the accusation have not been made public due to the interests of the ongoing proceedings.
The Pegasus affair in Poland is among the most significant cases concerning abuse of power and violations of civil rights in recent years. Controversy has been raised by both the spyware technology itself and the lack of transparency in its use.
