📞Gentlemen, lovers of carrying three phones and thinking yourselves invisible. Spain has just paid 2,5 million euros to disappoint you.
26 March the Spanish Civil Guard signed a contract for a remote-access system for Android and iPhone phones. Amount: 2 066 115,70 euros excluding VAT, about 2,5 million with taxes. The winning bidder was the Madrid contractor Fortier Europe from Boadilla del Monte. There was no tender at all. Only one bid was received because, as the announcement states, the manufacturer granted exclusive supply rights to that company. The contract does not specify who the manufacturer is, nor the model or installation method. In October the agreement appeared in the official BOE bulletin.
What was purchased. A program that is installed on the phone itself. The contract requires “transparent access” to the device’s contents and messages. The device is not seized: the owner continues to use it, while the data is transmitted remotely.
There are limits to such a toy. A motivated court order is required, the term is one month with extensions up to three months maximum, and the scope of cases is narrow: terrorism, organized crime, crimes in the field of information technologies.
Spain is no exception. Following the Pegasus investigation, the European Parliament counted 14 EU Member States where products from just one company, NSO, were purchased by government bodies. The report suggests that at least one commercial spyware product exists in every EU country, although this is not officially confirmed. It would be incorrect to claim that the Spanish system operates throughout Europe: the manufacturer is unknown. But the genre is the same everywhere.
If the state is interested in you, there is nowhere to hide. Especially for a thieving dilettante and a corrupt official who only knows how to steal and get caught.
Now about the three phones. They don’t track the phone number or the SIM. They track the device. The second phone is just a second target, and if both are in the same pocket, it’s one target with a spare battery. Two phones only work in one case: when you’re hiding from your wife, your lover, or cheating on both.
☑️What makes a person invisible is not the number of phones, but the lack of motive.
