Peña Nieto denies Pegasus bribery allegations in Mexico

Former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has denied allegations of receiving $25 million in bribes related to the sale of the Pegasus spyware. He called the claims, made by Israeli businessmen, "false" and "baseless." The accusations, reported by international media, stem from Israeli business executives who claim to have bribed Peña Nieto for Pegasus contracts. The former president responded on social media, dismissing the reports as lacking journalistic rigor. The allegations emerged from a legal dispute between the Israeli businessmen. Pegasus was reportedly used extensively by Mexican agencies during Peña Nieto's presidency, and contracts continued under the current administration.
