A political storm erupted in Italy after Giovanni Donzelli, a member of the Fratelli d’Italia party, revealed sensitive information in Parliament about anarchist Alfredo Cospito’s alleged ties with mafia bosses.

Donzelli admitted obtaining the details from Andrea Delmastro, a Justice Ministry official and party colleague.

The revelations, linked to Cospito’s detention under strict 41-bis prison rules, sparked outrage among opposition parties and within the government itself.

Critics accused Donzelli of using confidential information for political attacks, while Delmastro denied the data was classified.

The controversy led to an investigation, culminating in Delmastro’s conviction for unauthorized disclosure.

The case has highlighted tensions over the handling of sensitive state information and the political use of such data.
