Today, 24 April, the attorney general at the Court of Appeal of Milan, Francesca Nanni, met the attorney general of the Court of Appeal of Milan, Lucilla Tontodonati, and the chief prosecutor of Pavia, Fabio Napoleone, to discuss the request for a review of the trial for the Garlasco murder, for which Alberto Stasi, the then boyfriend of the victim, Chiara Poggi murdered on 13 August 2007, was sentenced in 2015 to 16 years in prison.

In the coming weeks, as Nanni stated, information will arrive from the Pavia public prosecutor's office on what has been done with the relevant documentation.

"We will study the documents and consider whether to request further documents to submit a eventual request for revision in Brescia" on Stasi's conviction.

The investigation for Sempio will soon be closed

The closure of the investigation for Andrea Sempio is expected shortly, an act that normally preludes the request for committal for trial, for voluntary manslaughter in conspiracy with Stasi or unknown years.

It was in this context that the possible application for revision to be submitted to the Brescia Court of Appeal was discussed.

The Cards

1) the forensic genetic expertise entrusted to forensic expert Denise Albani, who has established that there is a 'moderately strong' to 'strong and moderate probability' that on two of Chiara Poggi's fingernails there is a mixed (double male profile), partial (incomplete) and haplotypic (Y) trace that is compatible with the paternal line of the suspect Sempio, but that it is insufficient to identify "a single subject", and that it is impossible to establish whether the traces are found "under or over" the nails, from "which finger" they came, how they were deposited, why this happened, whether by "contamination" or by "transfer", "direct or mediated", and "when" this would have happened;

2) the consultations of the anatomopathologist Cristina Cattaneo, who reviewed all the papers and documentation of the medico-legal examinations and the 2007 autopsy carried out by Dr. Ballardini, to try to indicate with how many and which weapons Chiara Poggi was killed, fix the time of the crime and death, which the sentences have established (by logical reasoning, not by scientific evidence, which has always been very different) to have occurred between 9.12 and 9.35 am:

3) the new computer consultancy on Chiara Poggi's PC entrusted to the expert Paolo Dal Checco. There is the analysis of the crime scene with the Bpa - Bloodstain Pattern Analys, the discipline that studies blood traces, carried out by the Cagliari Ris;

4) the dactyloscopic expertise entrusted to Lieutenant-Colonel Gianpaolo Iuliano and Dr. Nicola Caprioli on the trace 33, found (now only in photos, the material no longer exists and has been destroyed) on the right wall of the staircase of the small villa in Via Pascoli, on which the victim's body was found. The Pavia Public Prosecutor's Office believes that it was Sempio's palm print, a hypothesis contested by both the 37-year-old's defence and the civil plaintiff, the Poggi family.
