Another senior Saudi official in Riyadh, who spoke
on condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to speak publicly, told the AP that the
kingdom finds it “distressing” that these claims are
being made “devoid of evidence or fact.
“The kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not conduct
illicit activities of this nature, nor does it
condone them,” the official said.
The Financial Times, which has seen the forensic
report that was done by FTI Consulting., said the
investigation “does not claim to have conclusive
evidence,” and “could not ascertain what alleged
spyware was used.”
