The Tribunale supremo (Supreme Tribunal) is a three member panel of state inquisitors created in 1454 to safeguard the security of the Republic. The tribunal though espionage, counterespionage, internal surveillance and a network of informers works to prevent plots and other attempts in Venice and abroad of overthrowing the republic and installing a dictatorship in Venice. The Tribunale supremo is considered the equal of the Council of Ten and has the power to investigate its membership. It is not accountable to the Doge.
