Overview

  • Andrea Sempio has been officially named the sole suspect in the reopened investigation into Chiara Poggi's 2007 murder after a palm print on the cellar stairs was matched to him.
  • Forensic experts have identified six additional unidentified palm prints at the crime scene, which remain under analysis as investigators seek further clarity.
  • Defense lawyers argue that the palm print evidence against Sempio is inadmissible and unreliable, calling it a 'bufala' and questioning its validity.
  • Investigators have seized digital devices, diaries, and other materials from Sempio's residences, which are being examined for potential links to the crime.
  • The upcoming forensic hearing will re-examine all genetic and fingerprint evidence, including the unidentified prints and other traces, to establish conclusive findings.
