DARK POWERS a film by Giuseppe Ferrara

Fossati has become a real menace for some top-ranking officials of the Secret Service as he owns a computer diskette with the list of all those who benefited from the secret funds. The list contains the names of important national political personalities so Fossati has to be arrested and made 'commit suicide' as soon as possible. But a very skilled and honest Intelligence Services investigator has been appointed to the case...
