French senator Nathalie Goulet and former European football boss Michel Platini are among some 100 people whose private data was hacked following criticism of Qatar, an investigation by British journalists has revealed. The Qatari government denies it has played any part in commissioning the eavesdropping.
The investigation, led by The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) and Britain's Sunday Times newspaper, found that an India-based computer hacking gang targeted critics of the Qatar World Cup and the Gulf state more generally.
