Overview
- Brescia prosecutors are preparing to file appeals to the Supreme Court after the Riesame court annulled several device-seizure decrees in the Garlasco and “system Pavia” investigations.
- Following those rulings, electronic devices taken from former Pavia deputy prosecutor Mario Venditti could be returned while the appeals proceed.
- Andrea Sempio remains the only person under investigation for alleged complicity in the 2007 killing of Chiara Poggi in Garlasco.
- In a Rai1 interview, Sempio said a ledger listing about €50,000 in payments to lawyers and consultants, found in the latest search, simply tracks family legal expenses and he described the “pizzino” as a note about a €20–30 fee to collect archiving papers.
- He said repeated scrutiny has left him without a normal life, denied receiving questions in advance for interrogations, and maintained his innocence while pointing to prior rulings that, in his view, identify Alberto Stasi.
