One of the prime suspects in a
Milanese probe into alleged snooping on the confidential data of
business, political and showbiz figures in Italy allegedly sent
an email with President Sergio Mattarella's name on it, police
said Sunday.
The alleged hacker gang allegedly led by Milan Fair Foundation
President Enrico Pazzali and former supercop Carmine Gallo
allegedly used the services of tech expert Nunzio Calamucci to
access private data on Paolo Scaroni, former CEO of fuels group
Eni and president of AC Milan soccer club, Giovanni Gorno
Tempini, number one of government merchant bank Cassa Depositi e
Prestiti, and the banker Massimo Ponzellini.
Also allagedly targeted were former Milan Mayor Letizia Moratti,
and Roman singer-songwriter Alex Britti, police said.
"We sent it to twenty people, plus three emails, an email in
the name of Mattarella, with the name and surname that if you
look at the account it is registered to the President of the
Republic," Calamucci was wiretapped as telling Gallo, both
arrested as part of the Milan investigation into stolen data.
Prosecutors said "they intercepted (...) an email address
assigned to the highest office of the State, President Sergio
Mattarella or in any case that they managed (...) to illegally
use or clone the aforementioned account".
