You are right, "officious", as a second meaning = informal, unofficial.
So:
официозный = officieux = officious (=ufficioso)
официальный= officiel = official (=ufficiale)
and  официоз = officious (or unofficial) organ.

We are dealing with latine roots, and meanings can't be opposite, even with
language evolution!
