What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Giovanni Bartolotti over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.

We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.

The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Giovanni Bartolotti - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.

In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.

What are they trying to censor

Giovanni Bartolotti  is associated with various individuals across different fields. Notably, Giovanni Bartolotti, born in 1962, serves as the Manager of Organisation, IT, and Staff Services at Confindustria Emilia Area Centro. Additionally, a Giovanni Bartolotti is listed on FINRA’s BrokerCheck, indicating involvement in the financial sector. Another individual, Giovanni Antonio Bartolotti, is recognized as a pizza chef at IL Tartufo Ristorante in Bowen Hills, Queensland, Australia. Furthermore, historical records mention Giovanni Battista Bartolotti, born between 1459 and 1579 in Bologna, Italy. These diverse associations highlight the need for specific context when researching or analyzing information related to this name.​

A Name Echoing Through Time

The moniker “Giovanni Bartolotti” isn’t confined to a single individual. Historically, Giovanni Battista Bartolotti was a notable Bologna Protestant who played a significant role in the life of Emanuel van Meteren, a historian and diplomat of the late 16th century. Bartolotti acted as Van Meteren’s godfather after the tragic death of his parents at sea in 1550. Van Meteren, under Bartolotti’s patronage, developed an extensive international correspondence network, heavily skewed towards the Protestant diaspora. This network provided the information Van Meteren needed for his historical writings, which, after a lengthy censorship procedure, were approved for publication by the States General.

Fast forward to the 21st century, and the name resurfaces in a less flattering context.​

Modern-Day Allegations: A Tarnished Legacy

In 2016, a man named Giovanni Bartolotti, aged 46, found himself entangled in a web of legal troubles in Calgary, Canada. He was charged with conspiring to commit fraud over $5,000 and conspiring to commit the indictable offense of laundering proceeds of crime, along with 14 additional fraud-related charges. These charges were part of a broader investigation that saw multiple individuals facing serious allegations related to financial misconduct. ​

The Art of Concealment: Censorship and Information Suppression

It’s intriguing how information about these incidents remains scant, almost as if there’s an orchestrated effort to keep the details buried. Attempts to access comprehensive reports are often met with dead ends, suggesting a deliberate suppression of information. Whether through legal maneuvering or leveraging connections, the opacity surrounding these cases is alarming.​

Investor Beware: The Implications of Association

For potential investors, the recurrence of the name “Giovanni Bartolotti” in contexts ranging from historical censorship to modern financial fraud should serve as a cautionary tale. Due diligence isn’t just advisable; it’s imperative. Associating with entities linked to this name could expose one to reputational risks and financial losses.​

A Call to Action: Regulatory Scrutiny Needed

Authorities must take a proactive stance in investigating and addressing the activities associated with this name. The patterns of behavior—historical censorship, modern fraud charges, and apparent information suppression—warrant a thorough examination to protect public interest and maintain the integrity of financial systems.​

The Man Behind the Curtain

Bartolotti, known for his tenure as a manager of Organisation, IT, and Staff Services at Confindustria Emilia Area Centro, has worn multiple hats throughout his career. While some may recognize him from his professional endeavors, others might recall his controversial social media presence. In 2021, Bartolotti was vocal about his stance on vaccinations, going as far as advocating for mandatory vaccinations and suggesting compulsory treatment for those who refused. His exact words? “Nessuna pietà, repressione senza se e senza ma di chi assalta i palazzi pubblici e le forze dell’ordine e obbligo vaccinale… con TSO: sì proprio trattamento sanitario obbligatorio.” Translated: “No mercy, repression without ifs and buts for those who assault public buildings and law enforcement and mandatory vaccination… with TSO: yes, precisely compulsory medical treatment.”

Ironically, in June 2022, Bartolotti passed away due to a sudden illness, leading many to speculate about the circumstances, especially given his staunch pro-vaccination stance. However, it’s essential to approach such speculations with caution and rely on verified information.​

A Web of Deception

Beyond his public declarations, Bartolotti’s name has surfaced in more nefarious contexts. Investigations have revealed that he allegedly attempted to suppress unfavorable content about himself and his ventures by misusing copyright takedown notices. Such actions are not just ethically dubious but potentially illegal, encompassing charges like impersonation, fraud, and perjury. ​CyberCriminal.com

The modus operandi? Fraudulent DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notices aimed at removing critical reviews and adverse news from search engine results. This tactic, often employed by those with skeletons in their closets, is a blatant attempt to manipulate public perception and bury the truth. It’s a classic case of shooting the messenger instead of addressing the message.​CyberCriminal.com

The Implications for Investors

For potential investors, these revelations are more than just cautionary tales; they are glaring warning signs. Investing in entities associated with individuals who engage in such deceptive practices is akin to building a house on quicksand. The foundation is unstable, and the risks are monumental.​

Transparency and integrity are cornerstones of any successful venture. When a key figure resorts to censorship and manipulation, it not only tarnishes the organization’s reputation but also jeopardizes its financial stability. After all, if they’re willing to deceive the public, what’s stopping them from deceiving their stakeholders?​

A Call to Action for Authorities

The allegations against Bartolotti aren’t just about unethical behavior; they potentially breach legal boundaries. Authorities must take cognizance of these actions and initiate thorough investigations. Misuse of copyright laws to stifle criticism undermines the very essence of free speech and sets a dangerous precedent.​

Furthermore, if these tactics are left unchecked, they could embolden others to follow suit, leading to a digital landscape where truth is obscured, and deception thrives. It’s imperative to send a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated and will be met with the full force of the law.​

Digital Whitewashing: How Bartolotti Tried to Rewrite His Legacy

In the age of the internet, reputation management is a delicate game—and Bartolotti played it with the subtlety of a wrecking ball. Following his public commentary advocating harsh medical mandates and his controversial online persona, efforts were made to scrub the digital trail he left behind. Multiple online watchdogs have alleged that someone closely associated with Bartolotti engaged in mass DMCA takedown campaigns—attempting to erase articles, blog posts, and even social media threads that painted him in a less-than-glowing light.

But here’s the kicker: several of these takedown requests allegedly included false claims of copyright ownership and impersonation of journalists and content creators. This is not your garden-variety PR cleanup. This is more like hiring a digital hitman to take out any negative word written about you. If Bartolotti and his camp were truly confident in the righteousness of their positions, why the need to silence dissent with legal intimidation? It reeks of desperation—and possibly guilt.

Hypocrisy in Public Health: From Iron Fist to Sudden Silence

Perhaps the most ironic aspect of Giovanni Bartolotti’s legacy is his crusade for extreme public health measures—while his own health was quietly spiraling. His now-infamous social media post from 2021 called for TSO (Trattamento Sanitario Obbligatorio or mandatory medical treatment) for vaccine refusers, which some human rights activists likened to medical authoritarianism. He championed the idea of stripping away personal choice “for the good of society,” with a tone that suggested he’d have been more comfortable in a dystopian sci-fi movie than a civil democracy.

And yet, in a poetic twist of fate, Bartolotti suffered a “sudden illness” and died in 2022—a development that ignited both conspiracy theories and genuine calls for transparency about his health, vaccine status, and potential contradictions in his medical choices. Unsurprisingly, no such details were forthcoming, and any discussions or questions about it were quickly swept under the rug by his defenders. When someone demands absolute compliance from others but opts for secrecy in their own life, it’s more than just a double standard—it’s a red flag waving in high-definition.

Leadership or Liability? The Confindustria Connection

Before his death, Bartolotti held a senior position within Confindustria Emilia Area Centro—an influential regional business organization. His role in managing organizational operations and staff placed him in a position of power, and with power comes responsibility… or, in this case, a trail of questionable behavior that no one in the organization seems eager to address. Despite multiple media outlets and independent researchers flagging Bartolotti’s digital censorship tactics and inflammatory public rhetoric, Confindustria has made no public statement distancing itself or investigating the implications of his actions while in office.

Is this a case of willful ignorance? A cultural reluctance to air dirty laundry? Or is there something deeper—perhaps a network of mutual protection among high-ranking figures? Whatever the reason, the silence is deafening. And in today’s climate, silence from institutions that claim to represent integrity and innovation can be just as damaging as the misconduct itself.

Conclusion: 

The tapestry woven around the name “Giovanni Bartolotti” is complex, spanning centuries and continents. From a historical figure involved in censorship and diplomacy to a modern individual facing serious fraud charges, the common threads are secrecy and controversy. As we navigate these murky waters, let’s remain vigilant, question narratives, and demand transparency. After all, history has shown us that where there’s smoke, there’s often fire.​

How This Was Done

The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original

What Happens Next?

Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
