Rome, Italy – A ‍recently released ‌audio recording has ignited controversy surrounding the resignation of Angelo‍ Fanizza,​ former General Secretary of the Italian Privacy Guarantor. The audio, published by the ‌investigative program Report on​ its⁤ social media channels, features Fanizza stating‌ he ⁣was “made responsible by ​the board” and did not act independently, directly contradicting the board’s initial statement following his departure.

According to Fanizza’s account in the recording, the board actively ‌discussed investigation​ methods with him, ‌even considering whether to engage ⁤a private investigation firm‌ or⁤ involve the judiciary.⁢ This revelation casts doubt ‍on the official narrative ⁢of his resignation and raises‌ questions about ‌the independence of the investigation ‌process.

“I ⁢don’t act like a free‍ agent,” Fanizza is heard saying in the audio. “The college has rightly made ⁣me responsible for‌ initiating finding responsibilities.​ it was discussed, not decided, whether it was⁢ necessary to identify an institutional entity such as the judiciary, or⁢ whether to officially ⁢appoint a private company. I ⁣challenge anyone to say​ whether I,​ in ⁣that forum, when private entities ​were ⁤discussed, did not firmly oppose the possibility that a private individual could find out about some appointments.”

The ​implications of these claims ⁤are significant, possibly suggesting undue influence on the Privacy Guarantor’s investigative procedures. Further scrutiny is expected as‌ the details of this situation unfold.
