Opposition centre-left Democratic
Party (PD) whips in the Senate and Lower House, respectively
Francesco Boccia and Chiara Braga, on Monday asked Premier
Giorgia Meloni to urgently report to Parliament in connection
with a major investigation into a suspected snooping gang that
allegedly put together illicit dossiers on commission by sifting
through national strategic databases.
"The scenario that emerges from the hacking investigation and
from the news we read every day on the issue is disquieting",
the whips said in a note.
"We are faced with a security system of the country that is full
of holes and which, as is clear, is used by the Right in
government for dangerous dossier-making and internal conflicts.
"At this point, it is necessary for the prime minister to
urgently come to Parliament: we want to know how it is possible
for the SDI system", i.e. the police force database, "to be
violated, with the hacking of data apparently involving top
institutions", said the note.
Braga and Boccia added in the statement that the cabinet, "after
approving a useless law on cyber security, absolutely without
funding, is helplessly witnessing an internal conflict between
power groups at the expense of the Italian democracy", and asked
"which initiatives the government intends to take now to patch
up this grave hole in the security system".
