Italian term or phrase: caso nel caso
[...] allestisce un potente sistema d’informatori
che, utilizzando mezzi illeciti e col supporto di
esponenti corrotti delle forze dell’ordine, accede a banche
dati riservate ed attua operazioni di dossieraggio sporco
su rivali, concorrenti, giornalisti e chiunque altro venga
considerato dai vertici Telecom un potenziale “nemico”.
Non sfugge al mirino degli 007 di casa Tronchetti nemmeno
Telecom Brasile, tanto che si registrerà poi un
“caso nel caso”, con gli spioni di Tavaroli sorpresi a monitorare
illegalmente ed ostacolare gli uomini della più
grossa compagnia di investigazioni mondiale, la Kroll di
New York, incaricata dalla telefonica brasiliana, ormai
staccatasi dalla casamadre italiana, di far luce sulle manovre
tese ad ostacolarne il decollo.
