A suspected computer snooping gang
allegedly led by former top police officer Carmine Gallo and
Milan Fair Foundation President Enrico Pazzali that got
confidential information on mostly business, as well as
political and showbusiness figures also spied on Russian
citizens, according to court papers that emerged on Monday.
Papers on the probe led by Milanese DDA anti-mafia investigators
said the group's alleged hacker, Samuele Calamucci, spoke about
a "dossier" on a "famous Russian oligarch" in a wiretapped
conversation.
In other passages of the court papers written by Milan State
attorneys, prosecutors say they attempted to determine the
identity of the Russian national and the only element is "an
episode involving Russian-Kazakh citizens (Victor Kharitonin and
Alexandrovich Toporov)" and the "construction of a hotel in
Cortina d'Ampezzo and the management of several luxury resorts".
Another dossier allegedly involved fashion entrepreneurs
Vladimir Tsyganov and Oxana Bondarenko, according to
investigative sources.
