The SISMI-Telecom scandal, uncovered in Italy in 2006, refers to a surveillance scandal believed to have begun in 1996, under which more than 5,000 persons' phones were tapped.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SISMI-Telecom scandal: all facts at a glance )〕 == First arrests == As part of the judiciary investigation on the ''Imam Rapito'' case, the Italian justice system discovered an illegal domestic surveillance program run by Marco Mancini, former #2 of the SISMI military intelligence agency, with the help of Giuliano Tavaroli, former chief of security at the Italian Telecom company and of Pirelli, and private Florentine detective Emanuele Cipriani. All authorized requests made by magistrates to make wiretaps passed by Tavaroli.〔(Telecom Italia wiretapping scandal ), ''EDRI-gram'' - Number 4.15, 2 August 2006 〕 On 21 July 2006, Adamo Bove, predecessor of Tavaroli as responsible of security at the Telecom company and former DIGOS member, died in Naples by falling from a motorway bridge. Bove had discovered a flaw in the system which enabled people to enter the Telecom system and implement wiretaps without leaving a trace.〔 He had announced this fact to the Milan magistrates, leading to the top-secret investigation.〔 Giuliano Tavaroli, the chief of security of Telecom, was arrested on 20 September 2006, along with twenty other persons, including policemen and other members of the secret services, on charges of spying and corruption. The files included reports on the Democrats of the Left (DS) and other politicians.〔("Da Telecom dossier sui Ds" Mancini parla dei politici ), ''La Repubblica'', 26 January 2007 〕 Marco Mancini and Emanuele Cipriani were arrested on 13 December 2006. They were charged with conspiracy corruption and revealing professional secrets. Mancini allegedly received money from Cipriani and Tavaroli, who constituted approximately 30 reports on magistrates, journalists, businessmen and politicians and members of other intelligence agencies (SISDE). Using confidential information provided by Mancini via his work at SISMI, Cipriani is accused by the Italian magistrates of having constituted files on various figures in the political, media and financial world.〔(Inchiesta Telecom, Mancini arrestato per i dossier e le intercettazioni illegali ), ''La Repubblica'', 12 December 2006 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SISMI-Telecom scandal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
