Overview

  • Prosecutors have attributed fingerprint #33, found near the crime scene, to Andrea Sempio using advanced forensic techniques, identifying 15 matching minutiae on his right palm.
  • Sempio did not appear for questioning on May 20, citing procedural concerns raised by his defense team, who contest the validity of the summons.
  • Handwritten notes recovered from Sempio's trash in February contain phrases interpreted by investigators as potential admissions of guilt, though further analysis is ongoing.
  • A second fingerprint, cataloged as #10, remains unattributed due to insufficient comparison points, leaving questions about its origins and potential relevance.
  • Biological and DNA analyses on the evidence, including fingerprint #33, are scheduled for the incident-probatorio phase between June and November.
