Overview
- Valentina Varisco, the former collaborator accused of copying more than a million files from Gian Gaetano Bellavia’s office, rejected his public claims as untrue through a statement from her lawyer.
- The Milan prosecutor has moved to put Varisco on trial for unauthorized access, with investigators citing roughly 900 gigabytes and an alleged copying window between June 18 and September 25.
- An unsigned 36‑page memorandum in the case file lists magistrates and prominent figures reportedly referenced in Bellavia’s archive, whose scope has been described at about 1.3 million files.
- Bellavia denies authoring the anonymous memo but does not contest its content and criticizes prosecutors over how evidence was handled, including the timing of computer seizures.
- Report host Sigfrido Ranucci says the program used only open-source documents, while figures in Lega, Fratelli d’Italia and Forza Italia press Rai and prosecutors for clarifications, with Senator Maurizio Gasparri weighing a judicial complaint.
