Overview

• Prosecutors in Brescia have registered former Pavia chief prosecutor Mario Venditti as under investigation for alleged corruption tied to the 2017 archiving of Andrea Sempio, and he will resign from the Casinò di Campione board while denying any wrongdoing.
• Venditti’s defense plans to challenge the search and seizure orders, as investigators cite a handwritten note and unusual family cash movements; Sempio’s relatives and lawyers say any funds were for legal fees or administrative costs.
• Court-appointed experts secured a 70‑day extension to 18 December to complete the incidente probatorio, while consultants report the subungual DNA from Chiara Poggi as usable for comparisons, including Y‑haplotype analysis.
• Alberto Stasi’s lawyer says audio files of 2017 interceptions were twice withheld after the archiving and argues that confirmed corruption findings would bear on the Pavia proceeding concerning Sempio and any future revision request for Stasi.
• A TV program aired a 2017 call between a carabiniere and Sempio that investigators view as irregular contact before questioning, and the judge has kept the contested stairwell “impronta 33” outside the current forensic review.
