Overview
- Giuseppe Sempio, father of Andrea Sempio, has been formally placed under investigation for corruption in judicial acts, as has former Pavia deputy prosecutor Mario Venditti.
- Prosecutors cite a handwritten note seized on September 26 stating “Venditti gip archivia per 20.30 euro,” with Sempio’s wife confirming the handwriting and that he managed family finances.
- Court‑ordered, non‑repeatable forensic extractions of phones and computers are scheduled for November 3 in Pinerolo, with analyses expected to run about 45 days under consultant Matteo Ghigo.
- Investigators reconstructed unusual money flows between late 2016 and mid‑2017, including €43,000 in checks from paternal aunts to Giuseppe Sempio and roughly €35,000 in cash withdrawals by father and son.
- The Brescia act, signed by prosecutor Francesco Prete and pm Claudia Moregola, outlines an allegation that €20,000–€30,000 was paid in February 2017 to secure archiving, which Sempio contests as ordinary legal fees.
