Two men outside Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's villa on the night of November 30 and December 1 were tinkering around the car of her former partner, Andrea Giambruno, while the Prime Minister was on a mission in Dubai. It seems, however, that no "Member of the Services" was involved and the Prime Minister's security "was never put at risk", according to Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano. In the reconstruction by the Domani newspaper, a car approached the cottage in the Torrino neighborhood. Two men got out, turned on a flashlight or a cell phone, and started hustling around Giambruno's car. Surveying the scene, however, was a patrol car stationed on guard duty. An officer got out and asked the two men about their movements. The men identified themselves as "colleagues", but did not show identification and walked away. A report has been drawn up on the incident, which ended up at the DIGOS; the Chief of Police, Vittorio Pisani, the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, the Delegated Authority for the Security of the Republic, Mantovano, and the Prime Minister herself have been notified, according to the article in the paper. The Capital Prosecutor's Office would also be informed. Suspicion initially fell on two men from the AISI, the Internal Security Intelligence Agency, who are part of Meloni's security detail. The two were then transferred to AISE, an agency that instead deals with foreign affairs. Later, however, AISI investigations exonerated the 007s, who were elsewhere that night - and the phone cells would testify to this. The two may have been trivially thieves looking for something in Giambruno's car.
