Israeli foreign intelligence agency Mossad has reportedly been implicated in an espionage scandal targeting Italian prime minister and senior officials, Yedioth Ahronoth reported yesterday.

According to the paper, Mossad has been involved in deals with the Milan-based private investigation firm which is made up of current and former senior members of the security services and who have stolen personal information on politicians, including Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and public figures, to be used for extortion.

The paper said at least four people are under arrest and dozens more under investigation, adding that cyber security experts and hackers may have breached the servers of Italy’s Interior Ministry.

Italian media outlets described the case as a “conspiracy of the highest level that involves members of the mafia and officials in the intelligence services, along with foreign intelligence services including the Mossad.”

Meloni described the plot as “unacceptable” and a “threat to democracy.”

Something tells me Israel does this a lot and is a big factor why they receive such unconditional support from a lot of countries.

The conspiracy theorist is gonna be very happy about it after decades of writing books and stuff.

Well turn out they’re right…on some point, like a broken clock.

Not to excuse literally anything else Israel has done, especially lately, but literally every country does this. In this case, they just got caught doing it. It just looks worse because Israel has been in the spotlight for the last year due to the genocide they’re committing.

Oh no doubt. But no country gets the kind of unwavering support Israel does. For a proxy, they do seem to be able to get away with a lot that I’ve seen no other country do. And it’s not just America but more or less every western nation. I know a big chunk of it is lobbying, but that only gets you so far. I feel as if they have a lot of dirt on a lot of politicians around the world.

Fascists watching fascists. These idiots will excite each other until someone too fragile gets hurt and throws hands.
