Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has publicly condemned alleged Pegasus system eavesdropping on his family as “pig‑like” and announced he will not let the matter slide.
What Some Claim: Nothing Happened
Some commentators dismiss the allegations as unsubstantiated, asserting no evidence of wrongdoing. Others argue that the claims remain unexplained despite ongoing investigations.
Prosecutor Investigation Links Pegasus to Tusk Family
According to the prosecutor’s findings, Katarzyna Tusk‑Cudna gained “victim” status in the Pegasus‑related case. Tusk cited this development during a Brussels briefing, stressing the seriousness of the situation.
Tusk’s Response: ‘Pig‑Like’ Eavesdropping Alarm
Tusk described the alleged surveillance as “pig‑like” and declared he will not “let it go.” He qualified the situation as a violation of human dignity, law and decency, vowing a thorough pursuit.
Allegations Target Tusk’s Mother in Pegasus System
Investigators say the Prime Minister’s mother may have been inadvertently recorded during eavesdropping aimed at other individuals. The recordings allegedly reproduced her voice multiple times and were transmitted to outlets such as Telewizja Republika.
Potential Legal Action Anticipated
Prosecutorial inquiry includes allegations of authority overreach by former prosecutors, including Bogdan Święczkowski, current chair of the Constitutional Tribunal. Opposing politicians label the affair the “most serious scandal in intelligence‑service history.” Tusk’s daughter has already been questioned; his wife is slated for interrogation soon.
Outlook: Lawsuits Expected
Thirteen possible suits may be filed once the investigation concludes, pointing to a drawn‑out legal battle surrounding the eavesdropping claims.
