State Department Says Estimated Date Of Completion For FOIA Request For Alleged ItalyGate Election Hacker Is September โ 2022
February 11, 2021 Mike Dakkak
The U.S. State Department has given ITN an estimated date of completion for its Freedom of Information Act request on alleged ItalyGate election hacker of September 16, 2022 โ more than 19 months after it was initiated.
ITN filed a FOIA request for employment records for an employee by the name of Stefano Serafini. An employee with that name is accused of playing an integral role in the hacking of the election in the U.S. on Nov. 3.
Maria Zack and her organization Nations in Action are spearheading the efforts to bring evidence of that hack to light.
A State Department employee named Stefano Serafini was entered into the U.S. Congressional record as having begun with the U.S. Foreign Service in 1997. That start date would make the employee eligible for a pension if they retired in 2020. Zack says information given to her by whistleblowers indicates Serafini retired from the State Department shortly before the election in order to protect his pension.
The FOIA request made by ITN requested only the most basic of information: Serafiniโs start date with the Department, his end date (if retired) and whether he is in fact drawing a pension for his work.
ITN originally requested the inquiry be expedited. That request was denied earlier this week.
FOIA requests are to be completed within 20 days of their being made by law. The State Department has said they are unable to fulfill this particular request within that time frame because of โunusual circumstances.โ

ItalyGate Election Hacker: I Donโt Understand Why We Are We Interfering In Americaโs Election
February 13, 2021 Mike Dakkak
Maria Zack joined Christopher James of A Warrior Calls to discuss ItalyGate โ the plot to hack the Nov. 3 U.S. election by intelligence operatives acting out of Italy.
Zack recounts information she and her organization Nations in Action were given about an IT employee working with billion-dollar Italian defense contractor Leonardo SpA who was allegedly ordered to upload computer code to military satellites to change votes in the U.S. election.
That employee, Arturo DโElia then told his wife what he was told to do by his employer. โI donโt understand why we are we interfering in Americaโs election,โ he reportedly told her. DโEliaโs wife would in turn tell friends and family about the plot. The story ultimately garnered attention from Italian authorities and when DโElia was questioned he reportedly blew the whistle.
Zack and NIA were given a name of a U.S. State Department employee who helped carry the operation out. That employee, Stefano Serafini, reportedly worked with a high-ranking Italian military official General Claudio Graziano on the operation.
โThey were also able to discover the go order,โ Zack says of the Italian individuals who are working with her to expose the truth.
โ[The perpetrators] plotted from about early spring of 2020 all the way through the year and activated this plan,โ Zack says. โAnd when they did itโฆthis gentleman who goes by Stefano Serafini, actually called General Grazianoโs satellite cell phone and we were provided those cell phone numbers.โ
โMaybe I should publish them and let everybody call General Graziano,โ Zack added jokingly. โI think the world deserves to know this proof that is out there and it is shocking, Chris.โ
