Overview

• Prosecutors in Brescia registered Mario Venditti as an indagato for corruption in judicial acts linked to the archiviazione of Andrea Sempio.
• Guardia di Finanza and Carabinieri conducted dawn searches at the homes of Venditti, Sempio’s parents and uncles, and two former Pavia judicial police officers, with nine people covered by the decree.
• A note found on May 14 in Sempio’s family home referenced “20/30 €”, “Venditti” and “gip archivia” dated to early February 2017, with calligraphic verification still pending and the defense contesting its value.
• Financial checks flagged roughly €40k–€43k in family transfers and about €35k in cash withdrawals in late 2016–mid 2017, movements prosecutors say were not examined in the 2017 probe.
• The Brescia decree cites 2017 investigative anomalies including omitted wiretap passages, opaque contacts with judicial police staff, and a very brief Sempio interrogation suggesting advance knowledge of questions.
