Overview

• Guardia di Finanza and Carabinieri carried out early-morning searches at Mario Venditti’s residences, the homes of Andrea Sempio’s parents and relatives, and those of two former Pavia carabinieri.
• The note seized in May at Sempio’s parents’ home reportedly read “Venditti gip archivia x 20/30 €,” dated to early February 2017, prior to Sempio’s formal notification of the probe.
• Financial checks flagged roughly €40–43k in checks from Sempio’s aunts and about €35k in cash withdrawals by father and son that prosecutors are examining as potentially tied to the 2017 archiviazione.
• Brescia’s decree cites “anomalies” in the 2017 inquiry, including omitted passages in intercepted transcripts, brief questioning, and indications Sempio’s family knew likely questions in advance; two ex-carabinieri are under scrutiny.
• Venditti, now president of the Campione d’Italia casino, denies wrongdoing and says he is “offended,” while in Pavia the judge granted a 70‑day extension for the incident‑probatorio forensic reviews.
