The investigation into the files of politicians and personalities carried out by the Perugia public prosecutor's office continues and, at the same time, reactions from the political world are increasing.
The League: “We will seek damages from everyone”
“No one is thinking of covering up as quickly as possible the espionage scandal, which is enriched every day with disturbing news coming from the Guardia di Finanza, the judiciary and the left-wing media. Who are the instigators? Who has benefited this illegal Soviet operation? – espionage style? These are the words contained in a league rating in which it is noted that the party “is ready to denounce and seek compensation for damages at all levelswithout exception.”
“As a League, we will get to the bottom of this and clarify who gave the order to illegally spy on hundreds of people,” he said. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, on the sidelines of the start of work on the Genoa sub-port tunnel. “Even in the Soviet Union, people did not work day and night to spy, disgrace, scan. I refuse to think that it was an unfaithful finance officer, an unfaithful magistrate or an unfaithful journalist – he added – here, there is obviously a system which he had in his League, in business and on the center-right, an adversary to defeat. We want to know who was behind this, we will denounce it to everyone levels and will demand condemnation and clarity, even at the highest institutional levels.”
“We want to know who was behind this; we will report it at all levels and demand condemnation and clarity, even at the highest institutional levels”

Indignant reactions also from Fratelli d'Italia who demands all the light on what is emerging. “Someone illegally sought data that should be used for possible investigations to feed the mud and blackmail machine. It is worrying that someone on the left is minimizing or even justifying these methods by totalitarian regimes” , he said. Lucio Malan of Fratelli d'Italia.
The “politically relevant part of the story” of the illegal access to the database of the National Anti-Mafia Directorate “is that of the instigators”, he asserts in an interview with Corriere della Sera, Thomas Foti, one of the “spied” politicians, leader of the FdI in the House. “Most of those interviewed belong to the center-right – he notes – and the activity was intense before the elections and before the formation of the government.” The M5S made it known that among those 'scrutinized' was Giuseppe Conte…”I don't know – answers Foti – I must say that on this very worrying affair, there was a deafening silence from the left . I wonder: what would they have said if these activities had involved people who were predominantly left-wing? And if the anti-mafia prosecutor and the Perugia prosecutor asked to be heard by the Copasir, the CSM and the anti-mafia commission “this probably means that there are more than we know”.
“Maybe I must be depressed because I'm the only one not inside, they're spying on everyone… but, joking aside, it's very serious.” States The leader of the action, Carlo Calenda, speaking of the Perugia investigation. “The State is the repository of information which, each time it is used for illicit purposes, destroys citizens' trust in the State. What happened is unprecedentedly serious” he reiterated on the sidelines of an electoral meeting in Abruzzo.
