A Rotterdam resident who worked at the Dutch Counterterrorism body is accused of having allegedly shared state secret documents with Morocco. His trial started Wednesday in the Netherlands.
Along with 24 countries, Morocco has been cited as a potential customer of Circles, a subsidiary of the Israeli surveillance company NSO, according to Citizen Lab.
For decades, Tangier has served as a safe ground for international spies. The city inspired later spy fiction writers and movie directors.
