Ziobro wrote on the X platform that the committee of inquiry was illegal, which is why he did not voluntarily hand himself in. It was set up by Donald Tusk's center-left government. The aim is to investigate whether the PiS government, which led the country from 2015 to 2023, used the Israeli espionage software Pegasus to spy on political opponents.
In February 2024, the Public Prosecutor General's Office declared that the software had been used to monitor 578 people between 2017 and 2023.
Around the world, authoritarian governments in particular have used Pegasus software on a large scale, for example against critics, members of the opposition and media professionals. Pegasus uses security vulnerabilities in smartphones to gain far-reaching access to data. It is also possible to eavesdrop on conversations.
