Focus on interference in the Nov. 3 presidential election has centered on Italy, but did the UK play a role as well?

Headlines Politics U.S. World

Maria Zack of Nations in Action, the organization spearheading the investigation into ItalyGate, says Alexandre Nix happened to be in the office of the president of Leonardo SpA when word came down that Arturo D’Elia was in the custody of Italian authorities.

Zack says Nix drove down to Naples to try and meet with and speak with D’Elia. It’s unclear whether he was successful in doing so. D’Elia’s whereabouts are currently unknown, but Zack says there is speculation he may be in the states.

Nix was heavily involved in the 2016 U.S. election when he, along with his firm Cambridge Analytica, obtained personal data on millions of Americans through Facebook and used that data to target Americans and their political activities.

D’Elia has come forward with evidence that proves he and others switched votes in the election using satellites owned and operated by Italian defense contractor Leonardo SpA. We have recently detailed Leonardo’s extensive involvement with satellite technology and operations here.

Further analysis reveals a connection between British defense firms, Italian defense firms and the U.S. Department of Defense as well.

In 2013 for example, the Aurora Tigon supercomputer was installed at Selex ES, a subsidiary of Finmeccanica. Finmeccanica would change its name years later to Leonardo SpA.

The Aurora facilitated advanced computing in the area of cyber security with a concentration on helping governments with defense, national security and surveillance operations.

The Aurora was developed by Eurotech SpA. Eurotech SpA’s British subsidiary Eurotech Ltd specializes in nano-computers and the building of the Internet of Things, with an emphasis on industrial and communications sectors.

Additionally, British defense contractor Serco, has been awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts by the U.S. for defense operations, as well as deep space surveillance using satellites.
