Seemed a bit odd to me the postal police took the lead on this, but apparently on top of regular interfering with the regular mail, the postal police in Italy also have a mandate that covers: "Cyber fraud and scams, Online copyright infringement, Unauthorized access to computer systems, Digital piracy"
- tehlike 2y agoKind of like mail fraud here & USPS. If the fraud involved any form of mail (checks, documents, etc) postal inspector seem to get involved. Or us secret service with finance crimes.
- TylerE 2y agoThat’s literally what the secret service was founded to do, though. The VIP security role didn’t come until decades later.
