Overview

• In a July 30 annotation, the Guardia di Finanza asked prosecutors for targeted banking checks on Judge Fabio Lambertucci and Chiara Poggi’s cousins Paola and Stefania Cappa.
• A subsequent September note no longer listed those names and reported no anomalies on Mario Venditti’s accounts, while the broader corruption probe remains open.
• Prosecutors issued a search decree in recent days for Venditti, two former carabinieri, and members of the Sempio family as part of the developing investigation.
• A note found in Giuseppe Sempio’s agenda reading “Venditti gip archivia x 20/30 €” underpins the search order and is a central element of the case.
• Financial reviews flagged about €1,000 monthly betting-center payments from ex-carabiniere Silvio Sapone’s account and cash withdrawals and electronic outflows that offset deposits on accounts linked to ex-carabiniere Giuseppe Spoto.
