Israeli Snoop-for-Hire Posed as a Fox News Journalist for a Spy Operation
Operatives from an Israeli private investigations company posed as a Fox News journalist and an Italian reporter in an attempt to dig up dirt on lawsuits against the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE, The Daily Beast can reveal.
In early 2020, individuals masquerading as a Fox News researcher and a reporter for Italy’s La Stampa newspaper approached two men involved in litigation against Ras Al Khaimah, one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates.
The impostors sought to trick their targets into revealing information about their feuds with the emirate’s leadership and learn more about lawsuits against it.
