Hacking team could have sold spying software to the Russian secret service, in violation of the Regulation of the Council of the EU in July 2014 on restrictive measures against Russia. This is what is apparent from haemorrhage of private emails of Italian society – over one million – published by WikiLeaks. The sale would have taken place last August and would have been indirect, to a company that works with the former KGB.
According to an exchange of e-mail messages identified by the site ArsTechnica, Haking Team would sell spy software to a company called Advanced Monitoring, whose parent company has a license to work with the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB), the agency that succeeded the KGB.
In this way Hacking Team infringed the EU Council Regulation n. 833 of 31 July 2014 in which Europe has established restrictive measures towards Russia, including the prohibition of “sell, supply, transfer or export, directly or indirectly, goods and dual-use technologies, including non-originating ‘Union, to any natural or legal person, entity or body in Russia, or for use in Russia, if the products in question are or may be intended, in whole or in part, in a military or a military end user “.
