Overview

  • The Supreme Court’s first criminal section rejected the Procura generale’s appeal, allowing Alberto Stasi to continue his day-release regime under the Bollate prison semi-liberty program.
  • Polizia scientifica experts in Milan reported that acetate sheets containing 50 impressions from Chiara Poggi’s home lacked sufficient genetic material for DNA comparison.
  • Andrea Sempio remains the sole suspect in the reopened Garlasco investigation based on an undated palm print labeled “impronta 33,” without any matching DNA evidence.
  • In Tempio Pausania, prosecutor Gregorio Capasso has requested nine-year prison terms, asset confiscation, and victim compensation for Ciro Grillo Jr. and his three co-defendants in the group sexual violence trial.
  • At the Corte di Assise in Parma, judges granted a defense motion for a psychiatric evaluation as Chiara Petrolini faces charges of murdering and burying her two newborns.
