COPASIR requests snooping-case documents

(see related) (ANSA) - ROME, OCT 28 - Parliament's COPASIR security committee, which oversees Italy's intelligence agencies, has requested the documents from a Milan probe into a snooping gang allegedly led by former top police officer that is accused of obtaining huge quantities of confidential information via illegal access to databases, sources said on Monday.
    There are reports that the gang enjoyed support from high-level figures, such as elements from secret services, including foreign ones.
    As a result, the committee wants to have information about the any spies allegedly involved, as it did with a Perugia probe into a similar case centred on the activities of a former finance police officer, Pasquale Striano. (ANSA).
