Polish foreign minister Radosław Sikorski appeared at the prosecutor’s office in Warsaw on November 6, filing testimony as a victim in the Pegasus‑spyware investigation.
Sikorski Testifies as Victim
On November 6, Radosław Sikorski presented testimony at the prosecutor’s office, identifying himself as a victim of alleged Pegasus spyware use. He warned that “they were thrilled” to hear his private conversations and urged that those who used cyber weapons against political rivals be held accountable.
Sikorski posted his remarks on X, stating that the law and justice should reach the perpetrators of the wrongdoing.
Investigating Pegasus Spyware Use
Prosecutors are conducting a case on illegal use of Pegasus software against public officials. Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that the situation affected his daughter, Katarzyna, and that the Prime Minister’s wife was also questioned in the inquiry.
The investigation concerns a period when security services allegedly employed Israeli spyware to surveil opposition politicians. Media reports suggest that the victims were probably intercepted during conversations with Roman Giertych, who was being monitored by the same probe.
These findings form part of the broader scrutiny of claims that state actors misused Pegasus for political purposes.
Parliamentary Commission Scrutinizes Ziobro and Woś
A specially appointed parliamentary commission examined former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro and his deputy Michał Woś about the purchase of the Pegasus system. Prosecutors later filed a criminal complaint against Woś for acquiring the software.
Woś allegedly directed 25 million zlotys from the Justice Fund to the Central Anti‑Corruption Bureau, which used the spyware, claiming the funds were spent without justification and contravened public interest. He denies the accusation and maintains he did not buy the system.
Prosecutors plan to bring 26 charges against Zbigniew Ziobro for his alleged role in funding the Pegasus purchase.
