Overview

• Attorney Domenico Aiello contends the Pavia investigation into Andrea Sempio should be transferred to Brescia because evidence of suspected judicial corruption emerged from that file, with a Riesame hearing on recent searches set for Tuesday.
• Brescia prosecutors are also pursuing a broader “Sistema Pavia” inquiry that names Mario Venditti and Milan prosecutor Pietro Paolo Mazza, alleging peculato of about €750,000 and use of multiple high‑end cars, with recent searches but no anomalies reported on Venditti’s accounts.
• Investigators cite a handwritten note found in the Sempio household reading “Venditti gip archivia X 20.30 euro” and tens of thousands in cash withdrawals, which the family says went to lawyers but which authorities describe as suspicious.
• On seized devices, earlier reports said Venditti refused to provide passwords, while his lawyer now says credentials were ready but withheld over unspecified extraction criteria, meaning access may require manufacturer assistance and could slow the probe.
• Interception records from 2017 are under scrutiny as a carabiniere says he rushed transcripts because Venditti wanted a quick archiving, and Sempio is weighing whether to replace lawyer Massimo Lovati after contentious TV remarks and disciplinary actions.
