Predator's control centre has its roots in Skopje

Local regulators in North Macedonia turned a blind eye to Predator's development on their territory. A revealing investigation resulting from a partnership between Inside Story in Athens and the Investigative Reporting Lab in Skopje.

The Predator spyware marketed to the world by an Israeli software company and used in Greece and Egypt to spy on journalists, dissidents and others, was developed in North Macedonia – in violation of the Balkan country’s laws. But local efforts to investigate why the software was built in Skopje appear stalled. The European Parliament is also probing the matter.
