# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Some of the photos were reportedly taken during a party held at the villa
for a visiting Czech delegation under the leadership of former Prime
Minister Mirek Topolanek.
El Pais said it was unable to confirm whether the picture of the naked man
it published was that of Mr Topolanek. Mr Berlusconi's lawyer has
previously said such a photo existed.
Berlusconi fury over naked photos
Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi has reacted angrily to the publication in
Spain of photographs showing topless women and a naked man at his villa.
He has threatened to sue Spain's El Pais newspaper, calling the photos an
invasion of privacy.
The photos - banned in Italy on privacy grounds - were taken from outside
Mr Berlusconi's villa in Sardinia during a party for a Czech delegation.
He also faces a probe for using state aircraft to fly guests to Sardinia.
The prime minister is said to have used Italian aircraft to ferry guests
to and from Villa Certosa, "almost every weekend" between the summer of
2007 and January of this year, El Pais reports.
Mr Berlusconi is being investigated for misuse of public funds, and
confirmed on Thursday that he had been formally placed under investigation
by prosecutors.
But he said the probe would be "swiftly shelved", insisting he was allowed
to transport "people he needs" for security reasons.
Mystery man
Under the headline "The pictures vetoed by Berlusconi", El Pais on Friday
published five photos shot by photographer Antonello Zappadu from outside
the gates of the Berlusconi villa.
In the first, the face of the Italian prime minister - recently embroiled
in a public row over his friendship with an 18-year-old model - can be
clearly seen. He is accompanied by several women, with the face of one of
them pixelated by the photographer and the others obscured by an awning.
a** These are innocent photos, there's no scandal but this is a violation
of privacy and a scandalous aggression a**
Silvio Berlusconi Italian Prime Minister
El Pais said that, to protect their identities, Mr Zappadu had pixelated
the faces of all those photographed - with the exception of Mr Berlusconi.
The second photograph shows two topless women, one standing and one lying
on a sun lounger in the Sardinian sunshine. The woman standing is wearing
nothing except a skimpy set of "thong" bikini briefs.
But the third picture is the most stark, showing a fully naked man leaning
over the edge of a swimming pool.
El Pais said the pictures were examples of the approximately 300 which
were blocked from publication in Italy at the weekend at Mr Berlusconi's
request.
Some of the photos were reportedly taken during a party held at the villa
for a visiting Czech delegation under the leadership of former Prime
Minister Mirek Topolanek.
El Pais said it was unable to confirm whether the picture of the naked man
it published was that of Mr Topolanek. Mr Berlusconi's lawyer has
previously said such a photo existed.
Other photographs reportedly include scenes of parties attended by several
young women, including the 18-year-old model Noemi Letizia.
'Nothing spicy'
Mr Berlusconi has been under pressure to explain his relationship with Ms
Letizia since his wife, Veronica Lario, said last month she was divorcing
him after he had attended her 18th birthday party and gave her an
expensive necklace. He has denied having an affair with her.
Mr Berlusconi denounced the paparazzi on Friday for violating his privacy
and "scandalous aggression", saying the photographs were entirely
"innocent".
When asked by Italian state-run Rai radio why there had been several naked
women at his villa, he replied: "Do you take a shower dressed?"
"These girls were bathing in a whirlpool bath inside a private home, and
they were assaulted in a scandalous way.
"These are innocent photos, there's no scandal but this is a violation of
privacy and a scandalous aggression.
The 72-year-old also repeated that there had been nothing "spicy" in his
relations with Ms Letizia and that he would resign "the next minute" if
proved otherwise.
His lawyer, Niccolo Ghedini, described the photographs as having
"originated in a crime", adding: "Who buys them anywhere in the world is
committing a crime, something which should have been clear to El Pais'
journalists," he said.
'Petty'
According to reports, prosecutors in Rome also found several pictures
taken at Sardinia's Olbia airport before and after the parties.
They allegedly showed Mr Berlusconi's favourite singer, Mariano Apicella,
his assistant, and an unidentified woman getting off the prime minister's
official plane in May last year.
Prosecutors were forced to open an investigation into Mr Berlusconi's use
of public assets after a complaint was filed by a consumer association,
Codacons.
"It means nothing. It will be shelved very soon," Berlusconi told a Milan
television station via phone on Thursday.
"There is a rule, passed by the prime minister's office, that allows the
prime minister, when he uses state planes for reasons of security, to take
with him people he feels he needs at no cost," he said.
However, the newspaper La Stampa has said the regulation did not take
effect until August, three months after the airport pictures.
Mr Berlusconi said he had entertained several heads of state and
government - including Mr Topolanek - at his villa in Sardinia, and had
"offered all that I receive from them, including shows with artistes".
"But this is not a burden on the [Italian] state," he added.
The prime minister called the accusations "petty" and suggested they had
been timed to coincide with this week's European Parliament elections.
Italians are set to vote on Saturday and Sunday.
