There is evidence of the presence of Paragon Graphite, used by the secret services on the phones of our activists. We will hand everything over to the 5 prosecutors (Palermo, Naples, Bologna, Venice and Rome) who are investigating, and to the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola.

We will also send the report to the International Criminal Court: behind this case is the Libyan situation and the relations between secret services. Large private groups that deal in oil and weapons, and militias that manage power in that country, may have played a role.

We reiterate our public denunciation of espionage activities against human rights activists, political opponents and journalists. These are police state methods, and the fact that the Italian government hides behind state secrecy instead of making public what it knows casts a shadow over the state of democracy in our country.
