Tronchetti Provera acquitted in Kroll (2)

(ANSA) - Milan, February 9 - Pirelli chief Marco Tronchetti Provera was acquitted of receiving stolen goods in the so-called Kroll case in Milan Thursday. A Milan appeals court said no crime had been committed, in the second appeal in the case.

The trial took place after the supreme Court of Cassation quashed an earlier acquittal. Tronchetti Provera was first acquitted in June 2015 of charges of receiving stolen goods in a case where the Kroll investigative agency was a victim of hacking.
    The Pirelli CEO and executive vice president was initially sentenced to one year and eight months in the case involving Telecom Italia (TI) data obtained by a team led by former TI security chief Giuliano Tavaroli which illegally hacked Kroll to get key information used to snoop on rival firms.
    Tronchetti Provera headed Telecom Italia from 2001 to 2006.
    Prosecutors said that he was aware of the industrial espionage.
