Hacked info from state security databases sold to rich clients: Milan prosecutors – POLITICO

Milanese police placed four people under house arrest and are investigating dozens of others in a probe into the alleged illegal access of state security databases by a private investigative firm, Italian prosecutors said.

As part of the probe, the prosecutors said they were investigating allegations of involvement by Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio, son of the late billionaire founder of Luxottica, and Matteo Arpe, former chief executive of lender Capitalia.

One of the clients who requested such information is Enrico Pazzali, head of Fondazione Fiera Milano, a non-profit foundation, the prosecutors told a press conference.
