Numbers of 15,000 Mexicans including politicians, journalists, judges, activists and teachers appear in leak
At least 50 people close to Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador – including his wife, children, aides and doctor – were included in a leaked list of names compiled by a government client of the Israeli spyware company NSO Group before his election.
Politicians from every party, as well as journalists, lawyers, activists, prosecutors, diplomats, teachers, judges, doctors and academics, were also among more than 15,000 individuals selected as possible targets for surveillance between 2016 and 2017, according to an investigation by a collaboration of international media outlets including the Guardian.
