Overview

• Brescia prosecutors are investigating former Pavia prosecutor Mario Venditti for corruption in judicial acts tied to the Garlasco case, and a TV report says he refused to provide passwords for seized devices, which could delay forensic access.
• A parallel inquiry into a presumed 'system Pavia' cites suspected peculato of about €750,000 and the use of high-end vehicles, with Milan prosecutor Pietro Paolo Mazza searched and under investigation.
• A handwritten note seized at Sempio’s home reading “Venditti gip archivia X 20.30 euro” and 2016–2017 cash withdrawals are highlighted by the Guardia di Finanza as potential indicators of illicit payments, which the Sempio family insists were legal fees.
• Investigative filings describe irregularities around 2017 questioning and wiretaps involving ex-carabinieri Silvio Sapone and Giuseppe Spoto, including claims that transcripts were hurried to support an archiving request.
• Andrea Sempio met with lawyer Massimo Lovati and will decide in the coming days whether to replace him after public and disciplinary disputes, as his defense team shifts with the entry of consultant Armando Palmegiani following Luciano Garofano’s departure.
