Spanish authorities say the mobile phones of the country's Prime Minister and Defence Minister were infected with Pegasus spyware last year, resulting in a significant amount of data being obtained.
Citizen Lab says at least 65 people linked to the Catalan separatist movement, including elected officials, lawyers and activists, were targeted with the Pegasus spyware created by Israel's NSO Group.
The regional Catalan government has accused Spain's National Intelligence Center, or CNI, of spying on separatists, and declared that relations with national authorities were "on hold" until full explanations were offered and those responsible punished. But the spying scandal has left them exposed to the pressure of more radical separatists, who are calling on ending the support for Mr Sanchez's left-to-centre coalition in the national parliament.
