Serbian anti-government figures hit by spyware ahead of elections
Published 1 d ago3 sourcesEvidence: Reported
Analysis indicates Serbian prosecutor Rade Bajić's iPhone was targeted with advanced spyware, likely state-linked, amid his criminal investigation into alleged illegal assistance for the Trump Belgrade tower project. This marks an escalation in the regime's efforts to undermine the case, which is the first criminal probe tied to the Trump family's global business dealings. The incident signals potential state-sponsored surveillance targeting judicial independence.

Multiple prominent Serbian critics, including the Belgrade University Rector and a prosecutor investigating a Trump-linked project, were targeted with advanced spyware, specifically Pegasus, weeks before parliamentary elections. This indicates state-sponsored surveillance against dissenting voices and judicial independence, with high confidence in the targeting but medium confidence in specific state attribution.
