Writing on X on 7 November, Tajani said the people involved had also drawn his family into the matter and were prepared to pay for further information about him and his loved ones. He did not specify what kind of personal data had been shared.
Tajani said Italy’s support for Ukraine was the political reason he had been targeted. In a translation of his remarks, he said: “I will not be intimidated in any way.” He pledged to continue working to protect his ministry and Italy.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed solidarity with Tajani, referring to reports of pro-Russian hackers’ activities and the circulation of his personal data. She said the sale of confidential information about public officials was deeply concerning.
