We Now Know What/Who Mac Is
Mira:
For starters, Marcone knows that Harry won't act against him as long as Mab is his boss. However
that doesn't mean he wouldn't like for him to sweat a bit, just to prove he can.
Gman:
It makes no sense for Marcone to have Rudolph harass Harry or Murphy. I think it is the Fomor or one of their allies. It may be the WC Vamps. A rival faction of Lara's. Rudolph may be mind wammied by a WC vamp like the female lawyer was earlier.

If you ask me that chapter didn't make sense, unless something comes out of it either in the end of Battleground or in the next book. Harry does bring up the possibility that Marcone's fingerprints are on it. What really makes no sense is it is being done by Internal Affairs, at the time of Skin Game both Harry and Murphy had given up any connection to the police force. That is why is sounds like harassment. Also at the end of Skin Game Harry and Marcone were more or less threatening one another.. Though it was tempered by the presence of Mab. She wasn't happy with her Knight either for doing that, so she might have also sanctioned it just as another way of putting Harry in his place.
It might even be connected to her favor to Lara in some way. Or it could be a Malvora getting back at him for Jury Duty.

Oooooh, I hadn't thought of this... but I like it! The White Court is all about manipulation through proxies. If the Malvoras found out Lara was going to use Harry as a tool, the logical counter is to use the cops to take Harry off the board. It fits.
The Fomor is another group I didn't think of, and they're a good option considering their desire to derail the peace talks. But I don't remember them using pressure tactics before. Don't they usually take more violent and direct action? (I think I need to do some rereading.)
Conspiracy Theorist:
As I said, Rudy is doing it because he is the last dented can of beans on the shelf, an obscure brand in a foreign language, label faded, can starting to rust and past its sell by date. Marcone has all the beans he needs, a warehouse full, respected brands and an sell by date years in the future.
Rudy is Hobson’s Choice, which I think why he is now working for the Merlin faction to dig dirt on Harry. Even the Black Council have more nous than to employ Rudy, he is ineffective and the Fomor don’t care about mortal authorities. Getting Harry into trouble with the mortal authorities is a very Merlin move, designed to get evidence on Harry’s expulsion, AND find out what he did with Nicky which worked out so badly for Nicky.
Harry must have been very difficult to spy on magically, the Swartalves has good security countermeasures, and the wizard who tried to use magic to spy on Harry at the Carpenter House still smells colours and tastes music. Fortunately he (mostly) regained control over his bowels.
Again I don’t think it is Malvora, Lara would have been on the lookout for that, and it requires someone to know where to look into Harry’s recent past, i.e. Nicky’s worst day in two millennia to point Rudy at the problem, not sure the Malvora would be interested especially in this but the White Council would, Nicky was a former member of the Accords, who quit following events of Small Favour which involved Senior Wardens.
