Amnesty has accused several EU governments of failing to thoroughly regulate Intellexa-linked companies.
“Instead, they are lining their pockets and ignoring the serious human rights implications at stake,” the report added.
“Intellexa alliance’s products have been found in at least 25 countries across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and have been used to undermine human rights, press freedom, and social movements across the globe.”
Multiple companies linked to Intellexa have been asked by the BBC for comment on the report’s findings, but none of them have responded.
Intellexa Ltd is part of a complex international web of companies either fully or partly controlled by the Israeli businessman Tal Dilian.
On his website, Mr Dilian said Intellexa “developed and integrated technologies empowering law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies to collect and analyse data in the most advanced methods”.
