“A Pandora’s box. Punish those who abused databases” –

Yet another case of dossier has done nothing other than bring out in a crystal clear manner the existence of a network for which the new gold is data and confidential information. What has emerged in recent hours about the Equalize hacker-spy gang, headed by the manager of Fondazione Fiera, Enrico Pazzali, and the former policeman Carmine Gallo, is nothing but a new chapter in a now well-known story. Spying through the keyhole and abusing one’s role seems to be a widespread action in Italy. “Since I raised the alarm on the dossier case (i.e. on the powers entrusted by the State for security and justice and used by some, many, for illicit, illegal and illegitimate purposes) a Pandora’s box has been opened. Cantone investigation, born from my complaint, then the Bari case on access to the bank accounts of well-known people and today this enormous Milanese scandal of hacking and dossiers”, the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, wrote this evening on X.

“At the beginning, but still in recent days, many were ironic and tried to belittle the ‘Crosetto alarms’ or the ‘conspiracies evoked by Crosetto’. Now many are understanding and admitting, the majority are silent and those who continue to belittle him they are obviously doing it in self-protection. I haven’t spoken about this issue again but today I want to say one thing: the abuse is not over, as demonstrated by today’s Milanese investigation, but it continues undaunted”, he continued. How can we hinder the action of those who want to gain possession of confidential information? “It is necessary, and the government is moving in this direction, to make it impossible to use databases for purposes other than those authorized by law. It is necessary to punish anyone who has abused them so far, both public and private employees. But it is also necessary to punish those used this information and whoever commissioned it”, highlighted the Minister of Defense.

“The most important thing – continued Crosetto – would be to know if there is a common thread that links, perhaps in the unawareness of the minor actors, all these, and many others, information collections, illegitimate intrusions, chases, stalking, films, photographs, recordings, unauthorized and not justified by anything legal, I think that the dimensions now reached by the phenomena that are emerging, which I repeat for me are only the tip of the iceberg of widespread malpractice, should also lead Parliament to reflect on it. how this issue should be addressed, regulated and investigated, which can seriously undermine democratic coexistence, influencing its correct development. Many, too many, have enjoyed it in recent years”, concluded the Minister of Defense.
