Overview

  • The Procura di Roma has opened an investigation for unauthorized access to an IT system, coordinated by deputy prosecutor Sergio Colaiocco and assigned to the Polizia Postale.
  • The data‑protection authority ordered the immediate limitation of processing, launched an inquiry, and warned that any further dissemination would be unlawful with sanctions possible.
  • The intimate videos, taken from a home surveillance system, circulated on Telegram, WhatsApp and social pages, with a foreign hosting site and multiple links already blocked.
  • Lawyers Angelo and Sergio Pisani filed complaints in Porto Cervo and Rome, urged users to delete the files, and signaled actions against those who shared the material or posted offensive comments, with any damages pledged to charity against cyberbullying.
  • Investigators are examining possible entry points on the surveillance network, reported to involve a modem on a TIM line via Sky hardware, while it remains unclear whether the intrusion was targeted or opportunistic.
