Father Mattia Ferrari, a priest with ties to Pope Francis, has been notified that he was targeted by a sophisticated surveillance tool. This revelation comes amid a series of similar incidents affecting human rights activists and adds pressure to Giorgia Meloni's government. Ferrari, a chaplain on a migrant rescue ship, learned of the surveillance from Meta, which disclosed it in February 2024. The notification followed a meeting with the Pope intended to console victims of migration tragedies, highlighting the ongoing dangers faced by advocates of migrant rights.

The notification came a few months after a meeting at the Vatican intended to console victims of human rights abuses.
