Insights into Morocco's Intelligence on Pedro Sánchez
Questions are mounting regarding the extent of information that Morocco possesses about Pedro Sánchez, the Prime Minister of Spain. What has been discovered on his mobile phone, and to what degree does King Mohamed VI influence Spanish politics? These inquiries have resurfaced following a recent threat from the hacker group Jabaroot, which claims to have accessed sensitive information from Moroccan intelligence services, including data from Sánchez's phone that was allegedly intercepted using the Pegasus spyware.
The hackers have unveiled a vast database containing personal details such as names, birth dates, and identification numbers of approximately 70,000 individuals believed to be associated with Morocco's intelligence and security apparatus. This suggests a network of individuals either collaborating with Moroccan spies or being part of these services. However, the most alarming threat for the Spanish government lies in another file: Jabaroot asserts they possess original data linked to the espionage of Pedro Sánchez’s phone via Pegasus, claiming this material could expose extremely sensitive information.
The Pegasus Espionage Incident and Its Implications
In 2021, Sánchez’s mobile device was compromised by Pegasus, a breach that also affected other government officials. At that time, the Spanish government attributed the espionage to an external intervention and referred the incident to the judiciary. Now, with Jabaroot's claims of possessing information tied to that espionage operation, suspicions are reigniting that Morocco may have utilized information gleaned from Sánchez’s phone to sway Spanish government decisions in favor of its interests. Notably, this includes Spain's controversial shift regarding Western Sahara, where the country altered its longstanding position to recognize the former colony as a Moroccan autonomous region—a concession that has drawn intense criticism from both the left and right in Spain.
The threat posed by Jabaroot extends beyond the alleged spying of Sánchez through Pegasus. The group claims to have documents concerning Moroccan agents who supposedly orchestrated and coordinated strategies related to the Ceuta crisis. They assert to possess copies of orders directed at agents dispatched to Fnideq (Castillejos) before and during the unfolding events. If these documents are authentic and demonstrate organized involvement by Moroccan agents, they could provide critical insights into one of the most significant border crises faced by Spain. Ultimately, what does the Pegasus spyware reveal that fell into Moroccan hands? Should Jabaroot follow through on its threat and publish verifiable original documentation, the implications could trigger another political crisis for Sánchez, potentially clarifying many aspects of his perceived subservience to King Mohamed VI's regime.
