Antimafia Draft Says De Raho Knew of and Tolerated Irregular Practices

The draft arrives with De Raho now serving as the commission’s vice president.

Overview

  • The parliamentary draft depicts Pasquale Striano as operating like an undercover agent, carrying out extensive unauthorized incursions into sensitive databases and compiling dossiers.
  • The report faults senior Guardia di Finanza leaders for calibrating Striano’s placement to guarantee unprecedented access and for conducting superficial internal checks on leaks.
  • The document criticizes prosecuting offices for excessive leniency toward De Raho, citing minimal and superficial investigative follow-up and questioning.
  • The draft says the national anti-mafia office amassed a vast data trove often unrelated to its mandate, exploiting system vulnerabilities to enable politically sensitive interventions.
  • Forza Italia members issued a severe public note saying the draft confirms disturbing concerns and urging immediate initiatives, with the commission set to debate the findings.
