This section is still being developed. It will be dedicated to young people and to their potential future career within the intelligence sector.
We look forward to having the best graduates and under-graduates enrich the potential of the Security Services with new and emerging professionals in the fields of science, languages, economics, technology and in every other sector where it is necessary to strengthen the action against all threats to the security of our nation. To that end, future reforms and new regulations for the employment in the intelligence sector will have to be enacted.
The members of the intelligence Services are civilian and military State employees transferred, with their consent, at the exclusive dependance of the security and intelligence bodies, and staff hired directly. Currently, direct recruitment is suspended pending the introduction of regulations and procedures capable of guaranteeing transparency and consistency as well as the highest standards in terms of quality.
The staff of the Security services has a special juridical and economic status, disciplined by the norms within article 7 of the Law n.801/77, notwithstanding the provisions in force for the other Public Administration employees. In any case, the juridical and economic status of the intelligence employees cannot be lower than that of an equally qualified public employee.
Finally, there are precise incompatibilities which inhibit access to the intelligence Services: members of Parliament, regional, provincial or city councillors, magistrates, ministers of religion, or professional journalists, and likewise, those who do not pledge complete allegiance to the National Institutions or who do not comply with national legislation.
