I'm sure the state (any state) won't be sad if it could turn all of the citizens into "sheeps" controlled in the direction of bringing prosperity to the state, and there's nothing wrong with that, but would anyone want to live this way?

Communism makes people sheep ? I think you're mistaking it for Fascism.

Ripped off or money laundering.

I can't possibly understand how it could be money laundering when there's an invoice in the hackingteam database for the Lebanese army paying them $1M.

I'm pretty sure companies selling hugely overpriced products that have little real value (and cannot be resold) is one way of laundering dirty money.
But in any case you might be right, and the Army is not exactly the sort of place where you'd have such schemes because it's a public institution.

It might be another form of corruption as well. In any of these someone in the army would have secret links with someone in that Italian company.
