Sprinter Marcell Jacobs also snooped on

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 29 - A dossier and illegal wiretaps against Tokyo 2020 Olympic 100m sprint champ Marcell Jacobs and his staff have also emerged in the investigation by the Milan DDA anti-mafia directorate into an alleged group of cyber-spies who allegedly stole information from national strategic databases, judicial sources said Tuesday.
    The dossier against the double Olympic gold medallist , his manager and his coach, was allegedly commissioned by Carmine Gallo, the former super policeman under house arrest, from two of the hackers with whom he collaborated "and in turn requested by a lawyer from Padua currently being identified".
    The proposal made to the hacking pair was to insert a 'trojan horse' into the phones of Jacobs and staff, the sources said.
    El Paso-born Jacobs, 30, won the individual 100 metres in Tokyo in 9.80 secs, the first Italian to win the 100m, along with the 4x100 relay.
    He came fifth in the Paris Olympics, in 9.85, a season's best.
    Gallo is one of the two alleged ringleaders of the snooping ring along with Milan Fair Foundation President Enrico Pazzali, who owns the investigative company, Eqalise, that Gallo runs.
