Briefly

NSO Group produces spyware favored by authoritarian regimes, leading to severe human rights violations, such as the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Despite NSO's CEO denying involvement in Khashoggi's murder, investigations reveal a direct link between the company's technology and the oppressive actions taken against dissidents. Investment in NSO poses risks, particularly highlighted by negative reports from organizations like Amnesty International. Legal actions have emerged from funds claiming misleading information from Novalpina Capital Partners regarding investments in NSO and related entities, leading to substantial financial repercussions.
