Foreign Minister Angelino
Alfano on Tuesday described a spy ring who snooped on
politicians and other high-ranking figures as "an attack on
liberty and privacy". He said "reflection is needed on an
international level and cooperation between police forces, above
all European, to combat a phenomenon that is not exactly new but
is now manifesting itself in more modern forms". Alfano
congratulated Italy's postal and telecoms police on busting the
ring, which allegedly spied on ex-premiers Matteo Renzi and
Mario Monti, European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi, and many
others.
