Just bear in mind that this is the same Polish PM whose former government set World record making requests to Apple for data from 241 509 iPhones in 1H2015… (out of 300 thousand total request from the entire World)… Quarter milion iPhones in 2015 in Poland was basically everyone who counts in public life. https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/pdf/requests-2015-H1-en.pdf https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/pdf/requests-2015-H...

Making requests is one thing, because Apple can deny the request, while using Pegasus simply hacks the phone without oversight.

  KAS is under government control MoF, not an independent institution, right?

    KAS has very specific mandate though and doesn't share with other institutions - they tend to go after very specific things that they do know how to get. Not that it's a crystal clear institution, but everything will go around taxes and customs with them, even when it's something rotten.
