Overview
- The Milan investigative unit asked the Brescia prosecutor to apply terrorism provisions to the Garlasco‑linked corruption inquiry to access traffic data under privacy derogations.
- A July 16 filing signed by Major Federico Smerieri seeks 72 months of call records for 16 numbers tied to former Pavia Carabinieri, including Silvio Sapone, Giuseppe Spoto and Antonio Scoppetta.
- Even with a six‑year look‑back, the data would reach only to mid‑2019, excluding communications around the March 2017 archiving of Andrea Sempio.
- Forensic extraction of the data is scheduled within 45 days, after which GICO in Brescia will have 60 days to select material of investigative relevance.
- The Brescia case now lists ex‑prosecutor Mario Venditti and Giuseppe Sempio as suspects, and an expert, Matteo Ghigo, has been tasked with imaging Venditti’s seized phones as the Review Court weighs the seizure’s validity.
