Supreme Audit Office started inspection of Hermes software acquisition

Poland's Supreme Audit Office (NIK) has initiated an investigation at the National Prosecutor's Office regarding the acquisition of the Hermes software system. This tracking system is designed to collect and analyze data from various sources, including social media and websites. The investigation aims to assess the purchase's legality, purposefulness, and financial management.

Hermes, acquired by the Prosecutor's Office in 2021, is reportedly more advanced than the Pegasus system, allowing comprehensive data collection from open sources such as telecommunication networks, social media, and internet activity. The investigation was prompted by concerns over the system's use and the management of public funds in its procurement.
