MEPs Nikos Androulakis and Krzysztof Brejza were spied on using Pegasus spyware.

Omissions

• While Krzysztof Brejza was confirmed to be targeted with Pegasus spyware by Citizen Lab research in 2022, Nikos Androulakis was targeted with Predator spyware (not Pegasus) in the Greek surveillance scandal.
• Both cases were investigated by the European Parliament's Pegasus inquiry committee (PEGA committee), which looked into the use of both Pegasus and Predator spyware across EU member states.
• The claim conflates Pegasus and Predator spyware - while both are surveillance tools, they are technically different products.
