Two people arrested in Rome for spying for Russia

Two people have been arrested in Rome, accused of spying for Russia and illegal access to computer systems. Among those arrested is a 59-year-old former member of the Italian intelligence services and former non-commissioned officer of the Carabinieri, who is suspected of providing classified information in exchange for money to a suspected Russian intelligence agent with diplomatic immunity in Italy.

According to the investigation, the former agent obtained information through six different sources, including four active military personnel from the cyber defense sector of the Italian Ministry of Defense. All of them have been placed under investigation.

In addition to the two arrested, authorities are investigating five other people, suspected of providing information related to national security, political and military espionage, revealing state secrets and publishing classified data.

The investigation was launched in 2025 by the Italian Agency for Information and Internal Security (AISI), after it was discovered that Russian services had recruited the former Italian official to provide secret information on Italy's defense industry. The operation was carried out as part of a counterintelligence action, during which numerous surveillance, interception, tracking and checks were carried out, including on electronic equipment.

During a search of the apartment of one of the suspects, investigators seized around 20,000 euros in cash. The arrests were carried out by the Carabinieri of the Special Operations Unit (ROS), with the support of the Special Intervention Group and the Provincial Command of Rome.

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto thanked prosecutors and investigators for their work, declaring that there would be “zero tolerance” for anyone who undermines national security. Meanwhile, the head of the Parliamentary Committee for the Security of the Republic (Copasir), Lorenzo Guerini, stressed that the activities of Russian services to obtain sensitive information have long been under monitoring by Italian security institutions.
