Spyware scandal: Italian government reportedly admits targeting activists
-
ROME - For nearly two months, the Italian government has evaded questions, dismissed allegations, and shifted its narrative in the face of mounting pressure from opposition parties and activists.
Now, a turning point: Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano has reportedly admitted that Italy’s intelligence services authorised spyware surveillance on members of the NGO Mediterranea Saving Humans. Yet, a crucial mystery remains - who was behind the surveillance of Fanpage.it director Francesco Cancellato?
The parliamentary intelligence oversight committee (Copasir) is investigating whether the use of the Israeli spyware complied with Italian law and whether intelligence services acted within their mandate in authorizing preventive wiretaps.
While the hearings remain classified, leaks from Tuesday’s session published by La Repubblicasuggest that Mantovano - who oversees intelligence agencies - acknowledged that the government had approved surveillance on certain activists. However, he maintained that Cancellato was never among the targets.

These zionazis need to be kicked out before they wreak havok on the EU like aipac has done in the US.

This has zero to do with "Zionism". It's just that they bought the software from Israel.
