(see related) (ANSA) – Rome, October 24 – Italian Premier Enrico Letta said Thursday that reports US National Security Agency (NSA) spied on the Italian government would be “unacceptable” if true.

“We cannot accept that there are shady areas or doubts,” Letta told reporters in Brussels, where the issue of reported NSA spying in allied countries is set to be discussed at a summit of European leaders.

“Obviously all the checks must be made, but we want all the truth. It’s not acceptable, nor imaginable, that there are activities of this type”.
