With the present wiretap law, we would have seen Elliot Ness calling up Al Capone to ask his permission to be wiretapped. And only after three judges from different jurisdictions granted a thirty day period, renewable only once. However with the Lodo Alfano, Capone could not even have been investigated were he president.
The present case in Bari was discovered thanks to wiretaps. I would not rule out that there are moles within the various procuras- or within the Telecom structures (responsible for wiretap operations) that keep either Alfano, Ghedini and Berlusconi informed of top secret investigations.
The vulnus of the matter is that there is the suspect that Berlusconi exchanges corruption for sex. As one of the richest men in Europe apparently it's a more interesting exchange.
