Overview
- Former prosecutor Mario Venditti remains the only person formally under investigation in Brescia over suspected corruption tied to the 2017 phase of the Garlasco/Chiara Poggi case involving Andrea Sempio.
- Prosecutorial records attribute eight banking and payment positions to Massimo Lovati, contradicting his recent televised claim that he has no bank account.
- The eight positions include a co‑owned account without movements, an account flagged for a fideiussione, an Ireland‑based online wallet, a prepaid card, other accounts with no anomalies reported, and one opened with a finance company pending documentation.
- Investigators have folded into the case file a hidden‑camera interview from Le Iene in which Sempio’s mother, Daniela Ferrari, makes disparaging remarks about Lovati.
- The Brescia office is preparing to hear Sempio’s 2017 defense team—Lovati, Federico Soldani and Simone Grassi—as persons informed on the facts, with Lovati likely to be called soon after Sempio revoked his mandate; questions over cash legal fees and missing invoices persist.
