"The Weapon wants me out because I revealed the secrets"


He speaks Pinned Mattioli, in the odor of 'redundancy' after revealing the existence of millions of confidential files

"The Weapon wants me out because I revealed the secrets"

The policeman: "I could not keep quiet about the profiling. Now colleagues can not wait to arrest '


Stefano Mannucci

Rome - "The most bitter of this whole affair was when a colleague told me:" I want to be arrested, so I become famous. " But do not give him that satisfaction. " The lance

Valerio Mattioli, 39 of which more than half spent in service, have decided to fight its own battle against the Corps, and in front of him, "now is a wall of more than a hundred colleagues." For years he took to writing letters to newspapers, telling uncomfortable truths: first, the "slavery" in which the police would be forced to the grueling schedule of services, then gradually raising the shooting: attempted to call the commanding general on the state of privacy in the worthy, and was punished with the rigor of delivery.

Last June, with its revelations, the scandal has exploded hundreds of thousands - "millions," explains Mattioli - of files with information on private citizens, keep 'fifty years' command in the archives of all Italy .

For this reason, the Bologna magistrates investigating him for slander aggravated and continuous, but the military prosecutor's office in Rome, he directed his goal elsewhere, opening up a case against unknown persons for profiling.

The data protection commissioner said on September 20 have ordered further investigations on the case, while Parliament has recommended to the Government of the story. But he pinned the Mattioli, is now in danger of being chased by the owner. Captain Thomas grotesque, his commander at the station of San Giovanni Valdarno (now moved to 'rotation'), has proposed opening the defense of a proceeding for termination of continuous service.

Within six months, Mattioli will therefore probably have to give up his uniform, "for poor performance."

Mattioli, she is known for not doing his duty?

"No, absolutely not. Us military we note the so-called features, and until I was 96: described as "excellent", which was the maximum, then gradually have declined. I was touched, for the first time, the question of personal files. "

In her complaint she spoke of cases seen in the police station of Bucine nell'Aretino, where he served in '98.

"Most of the local population was entered according to old criteria, including political opinions, religious and kin. All data, compared with one another, were able to reveal the ethnicity, race. I want to use the formula "revealing" because it is the same appearing on 22 of the Privacy Act. "

As was the collection of information?

"For the filing of the relationships we went to the City to record the last residents. Prior investigations are: a police station and police are allowed, without notifying the judge, but for a limited time, I think 15 days, not twenty or thirty years. But most of the information provide it to the people themselves, through the fiduciary relationship is with the weapon. And some of these stories were actually snatched the knowledge of the interlocutors. Data that ended up on the personal file of the person and becomes permanent. Political opinions are the most hateful, because it would penalize the occupation of a child for the ideas he believed his father decades earlier. And just imagine what could have happened with the resurgence of terrorism. And that political opinion unconstitutional retroactive effect. Not to mention the type of religious discrimination ... "

is an activity that includes various levels dl confidentiality?

"For ordinary people the information is collected and stored in the police station. For the most burning issues is well established use to attach to a personal file that appuntino reads: "see that the practice is limited" to those I've never had the opportunity to access, why do not I have the Nos, the security clearance. "

then confirms that there is a collation of the upstream Nos.

'information will be made on all, then when request arrives Nos to state employees who have to handle the matter confidential correspondence goes UCS, which has secretariats in all ministries. With this device can control all state employees, in violation of the law 300 of 1970 on the status of workers, and 382, \u200b\u200b78, who is a military law, that should not be taken into account the views and personal beliefs of a soldier in assigning an office or in the case transfer. While the 382 does not provide for specific sanctions, the 300 also configures the imprisonment of 70, then it comes to crime. Regarding the collection of information about "persons of a particular social importance" - this is the exact wording of Article 225 of the General Regulation - the activity may involve espionage against politicians, journalists, church people. "

In the decree for the reorganization, however, it appears that I'Ucsi has been reduced only in the military.

"And as for employees State to whom they refer? What will the secretariats that protect state secrecy employed by the ministries, and almost no one knows its existence? The state employees can safely handle confidential correspondence and we no military? ".

Mattioli, daughters who did it do?

"I have sworn allegiance to the democratic institutions of the state, because the safeguards at all costs. And I am Catholic, my faith is nourished by silence. I decided to get serious in February of '99 when I was a bit 'wrong. I suffer from asthma, my heart is tired for many years, sixty years who knows if you get there, I do not care to think of retirement. And there's more: last year, in Vicenza for a refresher course, my old colleague platoon told me we were sixty, we were in the wind. Who died in a firefight, who is gone, who had committed suicide "for too much effort into service. I am flabbergasted. "

dell'Arma He never doubted the loyalty towards the State?

"Years ago I read books on the techniques of the coup. In addition, two books written by Edward Luttwak, where among other things, explaining that the control of the territory can be achieved by many small teams, which had as their mission to block any military columns. And who can do it today? Only those who have exclusive military police tasks. We have 4600 police stations consist of four or five men, exclusive tasks of the military police. For charity, a reference is purely coincidental. "
