The Mitrokhin Commission was an Italian parliamentary commission set up in 2002 to investigate alleged KGB ties of some Italian politicians. Set up by the Italian Parliament, then led by Silvio Berlusconi's center-right coalition, the ''Casa delle Libertà'', and presided by Senator Paolo Guzzanti (''Forza Italia''), its focus was on alleged KGB ties to opposition figures in Italian politics, basing itself on the controversial Mitrokhin Archive, and various other sources including the consultant Mario Scaramella. The Mitrokhin Commission alleged, among other things, that Romano Prodi, former center-left Prime Minister of Italy and President of the European Commission from 1999 to 2004, was the "KGB's man in Italy." The commission was disbanded in March 2006, without any concrete evidence given to support the original allegations of KGB ties to Italian politicians.〔''The Guardian'', 2 December 2006 (Spy expert at centre of storm ) 〕 In five years, the Commission had heard 47 witnesses, for a total cost of 1.9 million euros.〔''Le Figaro'', 4 December 2006, (Mario Scaramella, l'Italien qui enquêtait sur l'ex-KGB ) 〕 Mario Scaramella was arrested in late December 2006 and charged with libel and illegal weapons' trade, with wiretaps of phone calls between Mr. Scaramella and Senator Guzzanti published by the Italian press in late 2006, showing that the two planned to discredit various political opposition figures by claiming ties with the KGB. The April 2006 general election was won by Romano Prodi's center-left ''L'Unione'', and in November 2006 the new Italian parliament instituted a commission to investigate the Mitrokhin Commission for allegations that it was manipulated for political purposes.〔Reuters cable, November 28, 2006〕 == Members of the commission == The inter-parliamentary commission was composed by the following twenty Senators and twenty Representatives: The President Sen.
