Overview
- The Milan Prosecutor's Office on February 12 registered accountant Gian Gaetano Bellavia as under investigation for alleged violations of privacy law tied to his retained case files.
- An unsigned 36‑page “papello” naming numerous public figures surfaced in the digital case file after preliminary inquiries closed in June 2025, and how it was added remains unresolved.
- Ex‑assistant Valentina Varisco was sent to trial by direct summons for allegedly copying about one million highly sensitive files, with a preliminary hearing set in Milan for July 10.
- Investigators have been reviewing the seized materials in the new file, and Bellavia is expected to give his account to magistrates as part of the ongoing inquiries.
- The Data Protection Authority has opened a separate inquiry, while Report’s Sigfrido Ranucci denies any dossiering and Forza Italia’s Maurizio Gasparri calls for deeper scrutiny.
