The rightwing League party said
Sunday it would propose raising penalties for 'spies' like the
alleged hacking gang that allegedly compiled sensitive dossiers
on business, political and showbiz figures in a huge new Milan
snooping probe.
It said this was also needed after other recent cases including
one allegedly targeting VIPs, business and entertainment
figures, and politicians including Premier Giorgia Meloni and
her sister Arianna.
"In light of the scandals and investigations,
even the most recent ones, the League will propose in parliament
an increase in penalties for the so-called spies," said the
statement from Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo
Salvini's party.
"The aim is to punish even more severely those who violate
privacy to blackmail and influence".
