The accounts of investigating judge Lambertucci and the Cappa twins appear in the investigation into the “Pavia system”. And the investigations into Sempio focus on the pizzini of the house
It is not just a trail of illustrious names that appear in Brescia’s files: alongside judges and prosecutors, the Cappa twins also appear. Paola and Stefania, Chiara Poggi’s cousins, suddenly enter the investigative scenario that is dismantling piece by piece what is now called the “Pavia system”. A plot that has the former deputy prosecutor Mario Venditti at its center and which is inevitably linked to the Garlasco crime.
The annotation and the names disappeared
The detail emerges from a note dated 30 July, with which the Brescia Financial Police asks to be able to carry out “targeted bank investigations” not only on the accounts of Fabio Lambertucci – the investigating judge who closed Andrea Sempio’s position in 2017 – but also on those of the Cappa twins and their family members. Then, the void: in the following notes, their names disappear. The checks remain on other subjects, but not on the victim’s cousins.
The Cappa twins, a name that carries weight
They are not magistrates, they are not excellent suspects. Yet their names appear alongside those who wrote the history – and the shadow – of the Garlasco case. Paola and Stefania Cappa, the twins, cousins of Chiara Poggi, end up in the register of attention of the Financial Police. Not as protagonists of dark maneuvers, but as possible pawns of a larger context, a universe of relationships that still remains opaque today. Their involvement was only touched on: a note requesting “targeted checks” on the accounts and which, in subsequent papers, disappears as if it had never existed. A presence-absence that raises more questions than answers: why did they end up under the microscope? And why have their names dissolved into thin air? In the Brescia investigation, even what remains unwritten can become a signal.
The judge who dismissed it
Lambertucci, today at the criminal trial in Pavia, is the key figure of March 23, 2017: at the request of Venditti, the deputy Giulia Pezzino and the prosecutor Giorgio Riposo, he closed the first case against Sempio, Chiara’s historical friend. An act now called into question by the Brescia investigation, which delves into notes found in the diary of Sempio’s parents. Between the lines, the writing that weighs like a boulder: «Venditti Gip archives for €20.30».
The “armour” of the investigation
For the Brescia investigators, those lines noted in the diary would not be simple domestic notes, but proof of a mechanism studied on a desk. The phrase «Venditti Gip archives for €20.30» takes on the value of an access key: as if someone had wanted to guarantee, in black and white, that Andrea Sempio could never again be touched by an accusation linked to DNA. A sort of procedural armor, a seal that would protect the young man from future investigations. Not a marginal detail, but the heart of the new investigation: the hypothesis that justice, in that passage, was bent and made impervious to any investigative flashback.
Wiretapping and cash
The picture becomes even darker when the wiretaps from February 2017 re-emerge. In the recordings, the voice of Giuseppe Sempio punctuates the concern: “Now we need to find the formula to pay those gentlemen over there.” Not a vague hint, but a reference which, for the investigators, sounds like the admission of a transfer of money. The wife asks: «Who?». He replies: “Well, take the money to the lawyer since it’s coming out…”. And Andrea, the son, adds: “I’ll go get them and see.” To complete the picture, the bank movements: over 40 thousand euros in cash withdrawn and moved in those months. The family has always maintained that they were legal fees, but for the investigators the coincidence between the dialogues and the flows of money remains an unresolved issue. It is there, between those intercepted words and those numbers recorded on the accounts, that the heart of the alleged judicial corruption is at stake.
The Brescia investigation thus recomposes a mosaic that has not stopped generating shocks for years. Each piece that emerges does not close, but opens other doors. And even the names that disappear, sometimes, say much more than those that remain.
