Personal information about Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani reportedly circulates on darknet, Meloni blames pro-Russian hackers

Criminals are circulating personal information about Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, alarming both him and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Meloni points to Russia.

The foreign minister writes on social media that information about him has been circulating on the darknet for several days.

It is not clear what kind of information is involved, but he says he has been subjected to threats and pressure, and that the perpetrators are willing to pay for further information about him and his relatives.

“My position on the issue of Ukraine is the political motive for my being targeted,” Tajani writes, adding that he will not be influenced.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expresses her support for the foreign minister in a separate statement, in which she blames pro-Russian hackers.
