Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – The defense attorney's argument, contained in a detailed certified email, was forwarded to the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office, led by Francesca Nanni, to the Brescia Public Prosecutor's Office, Guido Rispoli, as well as to the Brescia and Pavia Public Prosecutor's Offices involved in the reopening of the Garlasco case, as well as to the Pavia preliminary investigations judge, Daniela Garlaschelli, who is handling the ongoing evidentiary hearing.
The charge, which can be formally raised by the defendant's defense, in this case also involves the so-called "pizzino" contained in the decree of September 26th with which the Brescia prosecutor's office ordered the search of former magistrate Venditti. That handwritten note by Giuseppe Sempio—"Venditti investigating judge closes case for €20.30"—which the prosecution claims represents the sum paid in 2017 to expedite the closure of the case, is an integral part of the corruption charge, but is "inevitably linked" to Chiara Poggi's murder.
"The related investigation (the murder, ed.) is the container within which evidence of corruption was found, so it's clear that one part of the investigation can't be selected to be sent and another not to be sent. It's all connected; the new investigation into Sempio is connected to the activity that Pavia passed on to Brescia, and therefore Brescia must be the one to investigate." In this sense, according to lawyer Aiello, the preliminary investigation must also be moved because it is "connected to the same documents." This transfer is protected by the Code of Criminal Procedure: when a magistrate is involved, the case must be brought before another judicial authority to ensure the impartiality of the trial.
