Overview

• Brescia prosecutors have listed former Pavia chief prosecutor Mario Venditti under investigation for alleged corruption in judicial acts after searches on Friday.
• Venditti sought the archiving of Andrea Sempio eight years ago, and investigators are examining a note referencing his name and money that Sempio’s family says related to legal costs.
• Stasi’s lawyer says he is dismayed by the probe and reports that after the 2017 archiving their requests for the intercept audio files were twice denied.
• Court experts obtained a 70-day extension to complete analyses by December 18, and a third expert, Giovanni Di Censo, was appointed to review fingerprints.
• The DNA under Chiara Poggi’s fingernails remains contested, with prosecutors and Stasi’s defense attributing one profile to Sempio as his side and the Poggi family’s experts dispute its reliability, while the judge excluded the publicized 'impronta 33' from the current evidentiary review.
