Overview

• A new expert opinion on the blood shoeprint n.42 persuaded the Court of Cassation to reopen the file on Andrea Sempio, broadening compatibility beyond the size once used against Alberto Stasi.
• Guardia di Finanza reports show gambling outlays deemed incompatible with income by members of Venditti’s team, including nearly €47,000 spent in 2020 by carabinieri marshal Antonio Scoppetta and regular monthly betting by Silvio Sapone.
• Prosecutors in Pavia and Brescia are pursuing parallel inquiries into alleged corruption and peculato tied to service providers CR Service and Esitel, with device seizures from Venditti and scrutiny of his links to the D’Arena brothers.
• Investigators are examining cash movements and notes found at the Sempio home, including tranche withdrawals totaling tens of thousands of euros and an appunto referencing “Gip archivia,” alongside questions over compressed or altered intercept transcriptions.
• Venditti’s lawyer seeks to move the murder probe to Brescia, a view disputed by other jurists who argue transfer would apply only if any corruption aimed to conceal the homicide, while forensic tests in the incidente probatorio continue on extended deadlines.
