Environmental Crime Prevention Program
The Environmental Crime Prevention Program (ECPP) was a front organization founed by embattled Italian lawyer and security consultant Mario Scaramella along with his partner Filippo Marino in 1997. Describing itself as an itself as "permanent intergovernmental conference" with rotating presidencies by such countries as Samoa and Angola, its true purpose remains difficult to discern.
Mission and purpose
The website of Environmental Security International quotes Dr. Scaramella as describing the mission of the ECPP as "providing environmental protection and security through technology on a global basis, particularly for developing nations. ECPP has offices at the Fucino Space Center in Italy, the largest civilian space center in the world. ECPP has used aerial surveillance and the remote sensing capabilities of satellites to detect environmental crimes in Eastern and Southern Europe and eco-terrorism in Central Africa and South America."
