Overview

• Prosecutors in Brescia have registered former Pavia magistrate Mario Venditti as a suspect for allegedly seeking money to obtain the 2017 archiving of Andrea Sempio’s file, with no final charging decisions reported.
• Investigators are examining roughly €43,000 in cash movements tied to Sempio’s family and a handwritten note referencing “Venditti” and “Gip archivia,” as described in financial findings and search reports.
• Cooperating witness Carlo Primo Boiocchi told investigators that carabiniere Antonio Scoppetta relayed “pizzini” between Venditti and former MEP Angelo Ciocca, while Cornelia “Brenda” Brindusa described a close, long‑standing rapport with Venditti after being questioned in the Clean 2 probe.
• Searches carried out on 26 September led to the seizure of Sempio’s work laptop, with authorities continuing analyses as part of the broader review of past investigative decisions in Pavia.
• Parallel forensic work in the reopened Garlasco case continues, including new examinations by anatomopathologist Cristina Cattaneo and the resignation of former RIS general Luciano Garofano as a consultant to Sempio, as public debate features fresh interviews about Sempio’s parking receipt.
