Investigation Mentions Infopal Registered in Bahia and Financial Connections That Place Brazil on the Radar of the Case
The Domino Operation in Italy led to the arrest of nine people and highlighted a structure accused of financing Hamas.
At the center of the case is Angela Lano, associated with the site Infopal in Italy and a company of the same name opened in Brazil on February 27, 2023, headquartered in Salvador, Bahia.
The Brazilian company Infopal was opened in Salvador and closed a few months later, on November 6, 2023. The registration used code 5812, focused on newspaper or website publishing activities.

There is a Brazilian domain called Infopal with copyright from 2025. The content remained in Italian for years and began to include texts in Brazilian Portuguese from the end of October 2025, with the promise of human translation starting on October 27.
What Happened and Why It Caught Attention
The Italian investigation deals with a network accused of channeling resources to Hamas. The inquiries mention the existence of transfers and support structures outside Italy.
The activities linked to the name Infopal drew attention for combining communication, organization, and the movement of resources. The case also shifted the focus to connections with Brazil.
The process describes frequent contact between Angela Lano and Mohammad Hannoun, identified as a central figure in the investigated structure.
Who Is Angela Lano and What Role Is Attributed to Her
Angela Lano, aged 62, is a journalist and Orientalist. She is regarded as responsible for Hamas propaganda actions in Italy and for close relationships with Mohammad Hannoun.
Italian authorities have pointed to suspicions of complicity and participation in association with terrorist aims. The investigation includes seizing items such as cash, electronic devices, and flags with Hamas symbols at her home in Piemonte.
In 2010, Lano participated in the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, sponsored by İHH, an entity that was placed on Israel’s blacklist for its alleged ties to terrorist groups.
Infopal, ABSPP, and the Base of the Investigated Network
The name Infopal is linked to the creation of a project in Italy in 2006, focused on information about the situation of the Palestinian people, both inside and outside their territory.
The case connects the site to the Beneficial Association of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, ABSPP, in Genoa, mentioned as a supporter with shared headquarters.
The investigation indicates that Lano frequented the headquarters of ABSPP in Milan and that on October 17, 2024, she took something to store, anticipating possible future searches at the site.
How Money Might Have Circulated and What Is at Stake
The ABSPP was founded in Genoa in 1994, with branches in Milan and Rome, and is linked to Mohammad Hannoun within the narrative of the case.
The inquiries describe that seven million euros would have reached terrorists through triangulations with bank transfers and associations abroad, aimed at organizations based in Gaza, in the Palestinian territories, or in Israel, which have already been declared illegal by Israel.
The resources may also have been used to support families of terrorists or prisoners. This aspect increases the case’s weight as it directly involves the financing and maintenance of networks.
Connections with Brazil and the Name Sayid Marcos Tenório
The Italian site Infopal gave space to Brazilian Sayid Marcos Tenório, vice president of IBRASPAL. His name appeared in the Brazilian investigation of Operation Trapiche in November 2023, which thwarted Hezbollah attacks against Israeli targets in Brazil.
Police documents indicate WhatsApp exchanges in 2018 between Tenório and Mohamad Khir Abdulmajid, wanted by Interpol, regarding the idea of opening an Islamic center in Brasília linked to CCBIB.
Tenório wrote on December 9, 2023 that the six-day truce and hostage exchange would have forced Israel to legitimize Hamas as a warring force. He also stated that the group would not be a defeated enemy and would dictate conditions in negotiations.
On October 10, 2023, Tenório was removed from his position as parliamentary advisor to federal deputy Márcio Jerry, of PCdoB, after mocking on social media a kidnapped Israeli woman on October 7.
Iran, Hezbollah, and the Risk of International Expansion
The investigation also mentions Hezbollah and describes an interception referencing the transfer of money from Istanbul to Amman in favor of the group.
There is mention of the convergence of interests between Hamas and Iran, with the involvement of proxies such as Hezbollah, having Israel as a common enemy. In this context, there is a warning that actions abroad may gain more traction, including smaller cells and cooperation with Iranian and Hezbollah agents, citing Unit 3900.
In this scenario, there is an assessment by Matthew Levitt from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, indicating fear of global expansion and plans for attacks outside the group’s previous standard.
The narrative also includes references to an interview reproduced in April by the Iranian agency Irna, signed for Infopal by Lano and Hannoun’s children, with Osama Hamdan, a Hamas leader.
Case Expands Alert About Financial Connections Between Europe, Brazil, and the Middle East
The Domino Operation in Italy reinforced the focus on Hamas funding and highlighted connections involving communication structures, entities, and resource movements, especially concerning the name Infopal.
The opening of an Infopal company in Brazil on February 27, 2023, with closure on November 6, 2023, broadens the scope of the case and maintains attention on potential ramifications between Europe, Brazil, and the Middle East, in a scenario that also mentions Iran and Hezbollah.
