Unauthorized access to the Ministry of the Interior's joint database. This is the charge against a Carabiniere who, in 2021, the year of the indictment, served as a warrant officer and deputy commander at the Pattada station . The trial against the soldier began yesterday in court in Sassari. According to the charges, he accessed the system without authorization and to verify whether any investigations were underway against him.

Before Judge Stefania Mosca-Angelucci, the only prosecution witness, Carabinieri Major Gabriele Tronca, commander of the Ozieri Company, was heard. In 2023, he discovered the anomalies in those checks and reported them to the Cagliari District Attorney's Office, which has jurisdiction over these charges. The alleged crime was discovered during a series of comprehensive investigations conducted on the defendant for other matters, the subject of subsequent proceedings. The ongoing trial in Cagliari focused on the unauthorized accesses, two in a single day five years ago , which allegedly obtained confidential information. The major answered questions from prosecutor Alessia Sanna and defense attorney Giuseppe Onorato.

The confrontation escalated, and the latter asked for clarification on the procedures and the possible presence of other soldiers in the barracks that day. He also asked whether it was possible for another person to have used the computer at the accused soldier's workstation, whether or not using his credentials. The judge adjourned the hearing to the next October to hear the defendant, who is also on trial in two other cases .
