A deputy brigadier in the
Carabinieri police has been cited in the case of Giulio and
Francesca Occhionero, two suspected cyber spies arrested Monday,
judicial sources said Thursday. The officer allegedly ordered
access to a police investigations system to see if the brother
and sister were being probed, at the request of one of Giulio
Occhionero's fellow freemasons. The Carabiniere will be placed
under investigation for illicit access to the computer system
and also risks a charge of aiding and abetting if it emerges
that the intrusion was aimed at helping someone under
investigation. The freemason may also be placed under
investigation. The siblings allegedly tried to snoop on
ex-premiers Matteo Renzi and Mario Monti, European Central Bank
chief Mario Draghi,, and other top figures.
