Overview

• Milan has opened an aggravated defamation investigation into Lovati on a complaint from the Giarda law firm, with the case assigned to prosecutor Fabio De Pasquale.
• The Pavia prosecutor’s office issued an official timeline stating the case was reactivated in 2023 following new forensic filings and that the February 14, 2024 reopening request preceded Stefano Civardi’s co-assignment.
• In recordings published by Fabrizio Corona’s ‘Falsissimo,’ Lovati floated a hypothetical defense for Massimo Bossetti that invoked a claimed sexual relationship with Yara Gambirasio to explain DNA traces.
• Bossetti’s attorney, Claudio Salvagni, denounced the comments as disrespectful to the victim and professionally embarrassing for the legal profession.
• The local Bar is evaluating disciplinary measures, and Lovati has tried to minimize his remarks by alleging Corona gave him drinks and misrepresented the recording’s purpose.
