Milan, Nov. 11 (LaPresse) – “If these clarifications had been requested from me at the time, many months ago, I would have been spared a great deal of bitterness and would also have spared the entire judiciary the discredit that subsequently arose”. This was said by former deputy chief prosecutor of Pavia Mario Venditti as he left the courthouse in Pavia, where he was questioned by prosecutor Stefano Civardi as a person informed of the facts in the investigation into the alleged cover-up of the investigations into the Garlasco murder. Venditti had arrived at 1:30 p.m. and left approximately three hours later. The former magistrate explained that he had been questioned about the proceedings initiated following documents forwarded by the Brescia Public Prosecutor’s Office after his case had been dismissed. “The atmosphere was fairly, let’s say, cordial and civil. I answered all the questions”, he said. Venditti then returned to the consequences of the investigation against him. “A prosecutor under investigation for corruption casts doubt on the entire system, the entire judicial order, and this is to everyone’s detriment”, he stressed. On a personal level, he added, “the bitterness remains”.
