A Barcelona court has ruled that NSO Group co-founders Omri Lavie and Shalev Hulio, along with former executive Yuval Somekh, can be indicted over the alleged hacking of lawyer Andreu Van den Eynde. The decision came after a human rights nonprofit, Iridia, filed a complaint, initially rejected by a lower court. Upon appeal, the higher court's ruling emphasizes the push for greater accountability in the spyware industry, with potential implications for similar future cases in Europe.
This ruling sets an important legal precedent in the fight against spyware espionage in Europe," Iridia spokesperson Lucía Foraster Garriga told TechCrunch. "The individuals involved will now be held personally accountable in court.
Iridia appealed, and the higher court now ruled that the three can be charged, marking a significant step in the accountability of technology executives in espionage cases.
