Aisi, Meloni advances towards the Secret Services
Giorgia Meloni aims to increase control over Secret services. According to what was reported by Dagospia, despite the new law on intelligence reform conceived months ago by the undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano – according to which “the two agencies, Aise and Aisi, have an autonomy based on a division that perhaps was good for the Kingdom of Sardinia”, and therefore it is necessary to establish a single agency -, has ended up in who knows which bin of Palazzo Chigi, the state of agitation (euphemism) among our 007s shows no sign of diminishing.
At the center of the current tension is the expiration in June 2024 of the mandate of the director of the internal security service (Aisi), which has been renewed several times, of General Mario Parente. In his place, the candidate that Meloni would like to propose is the deputy director Giuseppe Del Deo, former Army officer, “dear” to the president of the Anti-Mafia parliamentary commission, the Melonian Chiara Colosimo (last December 8th she got married in the Ara Coeli church).
Obviously, the main opponent of the Brothers of Italy, Matteo Salvini, who has other candidates, has the opposite opinion on the appointment of Del Deo. Then there is also Defense Minister Crosetto who will want to have his say. Also because, with Del Deo at Aisi and Giovanni Caravelli at Aise, the two agencies would find themselves at the helm of two exponents coming from the Army, an imbalance that would certainly give rise to friction with the Finance, Carabinieri and Police.
To cut off any controversy, it is rumored that Mantovano's strategy would be to take advantage of Parente's 2024 deadline to reset all intelligence leaders thus also replacing the directors of the Dis (coordination of the two agencies led by Elisabetta Belloni, whose mandate will expire in 2025) and of the Aise (Giovanni Caravelli, mandate ends in 2026), appointing in their place exponents very loyal to him in key roles of intelligence.
