Vito Miceli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vito Miceli was chief of the SIOS (Servizio Informazioni), Italian Army Intelligence's Service from 1969 and SID's head from October 18, 1970 to 1974. A P2 member, he would later become part of the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement.
Vito Miceli was arrested in 1974 on charges of "conspiration against the state" concerning investigations about Rosa dei venti, a state-infiltrated group involved in the strategy of tension.
In 1977, Italian secret services were reorganized in a democratic attempt. With law #801 of 24/10/1977, SID was divided into SISMI (Servizio per le Informazioni e la Sicurezza Militare), SISDE (Servizio per le Informazioni e la Sicurezza Democratica) and CESIS (Comitato Esecutivo per i Servizi di Informazione e Sicurezza). The CESIS has a coordination role, led by the President of Council. Furthermore, the Italian Parliamentary Committee on Secret services control was created.
