Here’s what Report revealed about Gasparri (and what the Cyberealm and Atlantica companies do according to confidential reports)
According to Ranucci's Report, Senator Gasparri presides over a cybersecurity company that has relations with Israel, which he did not mention in the Senate. Facts, names, numbers and confidential documents on the Israeli-owned company and its subsidiary Atlantica Cybersecurity
Tensions not only in the media between Report , the Rai3 program hosted by Sigfrido Ranucci, and the senator and former minister Maurizio Gasparri, a leading exponent of Forza Italia.
Maurizio Gasparri is president of Cyberealm, a cybersecurity company, never declared to Parliament, will reveal the new episode of Report .
The former vice president of the Senate, Gasparri, is president of Cyberealm srl, a cybersecurity company with Israeli ties, of which the Senate was not informed.
This is the revelation that emerged from the previews of the next episode of the Rai3 broadcast hosted by Sigfrido Ranucci, broadcast on Sunday evening 26 November.
“This is Cyberealm, a mysterious cybersecurity company, of which Gasparri is president. Report will reveal who is part of it: managers and collaborators – both official and hidden – with an embarrassing past and linked to the secret services of other countries. Some of them are currently physically engaged in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in sensitive activities. Gasparri has in fact established institutional relationships for them for the assignment of orders while keeping the Senate in the dark. Orders that concern all his institutional roles", we read on the broadcast's social media.
In fact, in the episode of Report it is specified that the owner of the company is the Italian-Israeli Leone Ouazana, "long-time director of institutional relations at Telit (Gasparri was Minister of Telecommunications precisely in the years in which the State sold the company, the only Italian producer of mobile phones) and who today carries out activities of national interest in his country", but not only.
Cyberealm has direct and indirect relations with the Italian State, which appears as a potential customer of the company ( see the meeting with the Customs Agency last July, mentioned here).
Not only that, Cyberealm also has a share of approximately 24% in Atlantica Cybersecurity which "offers managed services in the Cyber/Cloud Security field of very high technological value, through a next generation SOC that is among the most advanced in Europe", explains the company itself.
Here are all the details on the top management and business of Cyberealm srl.
WHAT CYBEREALM SRL PRESIDED BY GASPARRI DOES AS REVEALED BY THE REPORT
Based in Milan, in Largo Guido Donegani, Cyberealm Srl was founded in 2020. As can be read on its Linkedin profile and on a company profile viewed by Startmag , the Cyberealm group "offers a diversified portfolio of cutting-edge IT security solutions, technologies based on artificial intelligence. We provide technology-driven solutions and end-to-end services, which include the development and integration of intelligence platforms and cyber solutions. Comprised of global experts with extensive field experience in the Israeli cyber ecosystem and intelligence community, Cyberealm Cyber Solutions covers the entire range of cyber-intelligence related products and services.” “Our cutting-edge technologies – it continues – include cyber threat intelligence services, cyber training, the creation of a Security Operation Center (SOC) and managed security services (MSSP), as well as endpoint security and a collection of analysis and investigation tools".
Bizarre, however, that under the wording "Website" in the Linkedin profile, instead of inserting the URL of the Cyberalm website, the URL of another company , Atlantica , appears, but we will return to this later.
THE OWNERSHIP
The share capital, equal to 10 thousand euros, is entirely owned by the Italian-Israeli Leone Ouazana.
As reported by La Notizia , Leone Ouzana with domicile in Tel Aviv (Israel) owner and founder in 2020 of the srl connected to other companies in the telecommunications sector (Melcom srl with headquarters in via Prato della Signora in Rome) and consultancy in information technologies (Atlantica Cyber Security, another limited company with headquarters in the central Via Barberini also in the capital).
But as revealed in the preview of the report , Report discovered that behind Cyberealm there was “another Israeli entrepreneur, very linked to Ouazana. This is Oozi Cats, former administrator of Telit Italia, until 2017 when he was overwhelmed by a scandal."
GASPARRI'S ROLE AS PRESIDENT OF CYBEREALM
The board of directors includes the owner of the company and sole director, Leone Ouazana, the director Nicola Crispino and Maurizio Gasparri. In fact, since 2021 Gasparri has held the role of president of Cyberealm srl. However, the Forzista senator never declared his assignment to the Palazzo Madama offices, as he was required to do.
Meanwhile, just last week Maurizio Gasparri left the post of vice president of the Senate to take on that of group leader of Forza Italia in the Senate, replaced by his party colleague Licia Ronzulli, group leader of Forza Italia until last Monday and now elected vice president of Palazzo Madama. As he himself declared to Report, he does not hold "any operational role, the president gives opinions, advice, which can be strategic choices".
But to color the story, as underlined by the preview of the report of Ranucci's broadcast on Rai3, also Cyberealm's ties with Israel. Also speaking to Report, the owner Ouzana declared that he conducts a "fairly sensitive activity dedicated to Israel".
THE PROCEEDS RELATED TO THE SALE OF ATLANTICA DIGITAL SPA
And here we return to Atlantica Spa, mentioned at the beginning. As already mentioned, on Cyberealm's Linkedin profile, the Atlantica URL corresponds to the website box. And if you search online for Cyberealm srl, a website associated with the Milanese company does not appear among the search results.
From the Chamber of Commerce certificate of the Cyberealm srl company, we can read that its main activity is the acquisition and holding of company shares (holding). As Report also points out, it is "a corporate box that holds shares in other companies specialized in the field of cybersecurity and defense against hacker attacks". In fact, the Chamber of Commerce certificate shows that the company has zero employees.
The company, classified as a micro enterprise, does not state the value of production in the income statement, but records income from investments in associated companies amounting to 1.1 million euros in 2022.
That the financial proceeds from equity investments recorded in 2022 by Cyberealm correspond to the sale of Atlantica to Smart 4 Engineering?
In June 2022 Smart 4 Engineering, a French private equity vehicle with an exclusive ICT vocation , which invests in France, Spain, Portugal and Italy, acquired 100% of Atlantica Digital SpA – from Pierre Levy, Fabrizio Del Nero, In-Holding SpA , CFN Srl and Fabio and Niccolò Cappon – and a participation in the subsidiary Atlantica Cybersecurity Srl by Cyberealm Srl
This is what we read on the website of the Pedersoli law firm which assisted Smart 4 Engineering in the operation. Also on this site, we inform you that Cyberealm was assisted by Rödl & Partners with senior associate Sebastiano Iacono. TONicola Crispino also works in Rödl & Partners as At the moment, we are unable to ascertain that the latter is the same Nicola Crispino, member of the Cyberealm board of directors, but the homonymy and the related companies certainly lead in that direction.
THE PRODUCTS SOLD BY CYBERALM
Finally, Startmag came into possession of a corporate presentation of Cyberealm. Among the various services and products of the company (but wasn't it just a financial holding company?) there is Cervello, a service that "protects railway networks from cyber attacks, using artificial intelligence to prevent malicious interference with system disturbance ” we read in the slide. Partners include France's Thales and potential Siemens.
Another slide – Magen – is relevant. As we read in the slide, Achilles is a trojan developed by Magen for extracting information from Android and iOS devices, to provide complete intelligence profiling. Something that sounds very familiar to Pegaus software, the so-called “legal surveillance software” developed by the Israeli company NSO, quite possibly the most powerful spyware ever created.
