""It is time to ask a very simple question: Why? Why me? How is it possible that such a sophisticated and complex tool was used to spy on a private citizen, as if he were a drug trafficker or a subversive threat to the country? I have nothing more to say. Others must speak. Others must explain what happened.""
""The Italian government has given some spyware targets clarity and explained the cases. But others remain troublingly unclear.""
Francesco Nicodemo, a consultant with a history of working for the center-left Partito Democratico, confirmed he was targeted with Paragon spyware after receiving a WhatsApp notification in January. He delayed public disclosure for ten months to avoid being used for political propaganda but has now demanded explanations about why he was targeted. The revelation broadens an ongoing spyware scandal in Italy that has affected journalists, immigration activists, business executives, and political consultants. Observers note that governments and spyware makers often claim use against serious criminals, yet recent cases suggest broader misuse and call for government clarity and vendor transparency.
