"Criminals in Italy are increasingly making phone calls over the
internet in order to avoid getting caught through mobile phone
intercepts, police say...."
But that's only half the story. Much of the issue goes in the other
direction: The Italian press apparently gets much of its information
from crime reporting from wiretaps, often of government officials! So
the government is trying to control both directions: Preserve its
ability to wiretap while stopping the press from doing so.
