Members of the hacking network, including Nunzio Samuele Calamucci — the man prosecutors accuse of orchestrating the scheme — met with two Israeli agents at the firm’s office in Milan in February 2023 to discuss a task worth €1 million, according to the leaked wiretapsThe job was a cyber operation against Russian targets, including President Vladimir Putin’s unidentified “right-hand man,” and unearthing the financial trail leading from the bank accounts of wealthy figures to the Russian mercenary group Wagner. The information was then supposed to be passed on to the Vatican.It’s unclear from the leaked documents why Israeli intelligence and the Vatican were involved with the controversial Milan firm and what their reasons were for soliciting information on Russian targets, but their presence in the dossier has dramatically expanded the scope of Italy’s sprawling investigation.
But it was Meloni’s own govenrment that gave that firm public contracts to handle sensible datas. As they say: “elect a clown, expect a circus”: and we elected a clown. This is the result.
Italian media portray the scandal as a high-level conspiracy involving members of the mafia, intelligence operatives, and foreign agencies, including Mossad.
Four individuals were arrested in the investigation into alleged illegal dossiers centered around Equalize.
They were identified as former police officer Carmine Gallo, head of Equalize, along with hackers Nunzio Calamucci, Massimiliano Camponovo and Giulio Cornelli. The interrogations of the four suspects began on Thursday.
Many of the firm’s clients are believed to be large corporations and law firms seeking competitive advantages, courtroom leverage, or material for extortion.
According to the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera, investigators tracked a visit to the firm by two unidentified Israelis described as intelligence operatives.
These individuals allegedly sought information about Iranian gas that could interest ENI, Italy’s state-run energy company, and inquired about gas trade with Iran.

It’s always enjoyable when some of the worst people you know are going at it with each other. Hopefully they both come out worse off than before and I wish them all ill fortunes.
Damn, one post, two «better sources», one Italian chiming in, this is getting interesting!
Just gotta fill in a bit more text here… so, little chit-chat, I’ve been working on two different theses, really fun subjects. Oh well, that’s enough of me, what about you?
“Mossad worked with a Milan-based private investigation agency that employed senior security personnel from both the past and present. This company is accused of collecting Meloni’s and other Italian politicians’ personal information with the goal of utilizing it for blackmail.”
Reminds me when the Guardian and the Israeli-based magazines +972 and Local Call found that “Israel has run an almost decade-long secret “war” against the court. The country deployed its intelligence agencies to surveil, hack, pressure, smear and allegedly threaten senior ICC staff in an effort to derail the court’s inquiries.”

Some context form an Italian
– Yes, a Mossad-linked firm did that.
But it was Meloni’s own govenrment that gave that firm public contracts to handle sensible datas. As they say: “elect a clown, expect a circus”: and we elected a clown. This is the result.
