Overview

• Footage recorded at Caroline Tronelli’s Rome home on the night of August 9 appeared online days later on a foreign site and spread across Telegram, WhatsApp and Facebook.
• The Procura di Roma opened a case for accesso abusivo and illicit diffusion of sexually explicit images, assigning the inquiry to the Polizia Postale, which seized the modem linked to the cameras.
• Italy’s privacy authority ordered an immediate stop to any dissemination and began an inquiry, with many public links removed though copies likely persist in closed channels.
• Lawyers Angelo and Sergio Pisani filed complaints in Porto Cervo and Rome, provided telematic traces, and are pursuing not only the original thieves but also those who shared the files or posted offensive comments, pledging any damages to anti-cyberbullying initiatives.
• Investigators are examining whether external hackers or someone inside the surveillance company extracted and possibly monetized the video, situating the case within a broader illicit market for stolen intimate recordings.
