Lithuania server seized in snooping probe

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 28 - A server in Lithuania was seized in a Milan probe into illegal hacking and snooping on personal police and interior ministry files involving many more than 800,000 victims, police said Monday.
    Prosecutors also said they were gearing to ask for permission to question people in Britain, where there was a hacker hub allegedly led by a woman.
