All the spies were pointing to Guido Crosetto. Perhaps it is no coincidence that the link between the dossier investigations is the Minister of Defence, who with his complaint has opened the lid on the Anti-Mafia wormhole. And that when Striano & Co were discovered, an anonymous banker from Bisceglie focused on Crosetto, the curious Vincenzo Coviello who also spied on the accounts of Giorgia Meloni and her sister but who swears he acted alone, despite the investigators not believe him and are looking for accomplices and instigators among unfaithful financiers and foreign 007s. Now Crosetto even appears in the case of the Milanese hackers, brought into play not by just any spy, but by the number two of the Milanese airports, Pierfrancesco Barletta, at the time on Leonardo’s board of directors and now a former minority shareholder of Equalize, the company considered the dossier center headed by Enrico Pazzali, president of Fiera Milano, and the former super policeman Carmine Gallo. The circumstance is contained in the information from the Varese carabinieri, who intercepted a conversation between Barletta, under investigation, and Sergio Scalpelli, a journalist in charge of external relations at Fastweb.
The environmental interception, captured in the offices in via Pattali, dates back to 30 September 2022, in the midst of the formation of the Meloni government, and focuses on politics. Barletta, who as Leonardo’s manager continues to maintain relationships with politicians and journalists of his beloved left, talks about the appointments of the new executive. «But who is apologizing at the Ministry of Defense?», asks Scalpelli. «Either Crosetto or Tajani», replies Barletta. “And do we have ties?” worries the head of institutional relations at Fastweb. «With Crosetto yes», assures Leonardo’s man, «Crosetto is a little more pragmatic than the boy», that is the outgoing Lorenzo Guerini. «The boy is going to be president of Copasir», assures Barletta. A conversation worthy of note, for the investigators, also because it was whispered in an environment considered “safe” by one of Leonardo’s advisors. And which takes place a few weeks before the publication, in the newspaper Domani, of the articles on Crosetto and on the income collected by Leonardo.
Exclusives born thanks to the illegal access to the databases carried out by the financier Pasquale Striano at the Antimafia, who allegedly sent the minister’s income to the reporters under investigation. Illegal intrusions now certified, even though the director Emiliano Fittipaldi, heard by the Anti-Mafia Commission, explained that the news had come to him from a deep throat inside Leonardo, as Barletta coincidentally was at the time.
In short, spies everywhere, including unfaithful servants, journalists and deviant 007s, all united in preparing dossiers, to influence politics and undermine the democratic order or sell information in the large SOS market, even to foreign companies and secret services. The Milan hackers boasted of having links with foreign spies, so much so that they allegedly received a million euro commission from two Israelis. In Bari they suspect that the banker would have contacts with financiers from Rome and the local area, linked to spies from a European country. And Striano himself made illicit intrusions into the systems for his 007 friends, even those he jokingly called “toilets”. And now the Roman Specter appears, that Fiore team discovered by the journalist Fabrizio Gatti, who prepared and sold thousands of reports from the dossier center in Piazza Bologna. Military men and former state officials who, a few months ago, even met the IT expert of the Milan group, Nunzio Calamucci, and who are now in the sights of the capital’s prosecutor’s office, which is following the traces of the Roman spies.

**Interview with Rita Cavallaro: An Insight into the Guiding Political Scandals in Italy**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Rita. Your recent article sheds light on a complex web of political intrigue involving Minister of Defence Guido Crosetto. Can you provide an overview of the key elements in this unfolding investigation?
**Rita Cavallaro:** Absolutely. The situation is quite intricate. Central to the investigation is Guido Crosetto, who has found himself at the center of multiple scandals. This began with a complaint he filed that has delved deep into anti-mafia connections. The focus has shifted to surveillance activities tied to a financier named Pasquale Striano, who reportedly accessed sensitive data from the Antimafia offices, implicating not just Crosetto, but also various political figures, including Giorgia Meloni.
**Interviewer:** It seems there are several layers to this story. Could you elaborate on the involvement of Pierfrancesco Barletta and how his connections play a part in the investigation?
**Rita Cavallaro:** Certainly. Barletta, formerly associated with Leonardo, a prominent defense contractor, has been under scrutiny. An intercepted conversation revealed that he was discussing the political environment during the formation of Meloni’s government. His remarks hinted at potential ties between Crosetto and other key figures, raising concerns among investigators about the interplay between politics and business in Italy.
**Interviewer:** The term “Anti-Mafia wormhole” suggests a significant depth in this investigation. What implications could this affair have on Italy’s political landscape?
**Rita Cavallaro:** The ramifications could be substantial. If the investigations confirm the allegations, it could challenge the stability of the current government and expose vulnerabilities within party leadership. With several politicians entangled in these investigations, including allegations of misconduct and financial impropriety, the integrity of public officials is on the line.
**Interviewer:** And with the media’s role in this situation, how do you see it evolving?
**Rita Cavallaro:** The media will play a crucial role in bringing these issues to light. The public’s right to know and the responsibility of journalists to investigate are paramount here. As more information becomes available, we may see increasing pressure on politicians to clarify their positions and associations — especially as more details about the alleged hacking and financial networks emerge.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Rita, for your insights into this complex story. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds in the coming weeks.
**Rita Cavallaro:** Thank you for having me! It’s certainly a pivotal moment for Italian politics, and I’ll be following the developments closely.
