Career
[edit | edit source]Colombo was born on 23 June 1946 in Briosco. He obtained a degree in Jurisprudence from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan in 1971.[2]
Colombo had a 33-year-long career as a magistrate in Milan. He worked amongst others on the cases of the 1979 murder of advocate Giorgio Ambrosoli, the Propaganda Due Freemason lodge, and off-the-books money at the Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale. Together with Giuliano Turone he investigated the finances of Michele Sindona.[3] In the 1990s Colombo was one of the judges in the Mani pulite political corruption investigation in Italy.[1][4]
He resigned from the judiciary in 2007, even though he could have continued sitting as a judge for another fourteen years. As a reason for his resignation, he explained that he felt the fight against corruption should not take place solely in the legal arena.[5]
