Garlasco Case Reignites Forensic Fight as Stasi Defense Challenges New PC Claim

Prosecutors are running independent IT tests that will guide the next steps under deadlines expected to push work into summer.

Overview

  • Poggi family consultants say new software shows Chiara Poggi opened Stasi’s ‘Militare’ folder the night before the murder and they plan to seek a court-backed forensic review of the PC.
  • Stasi’s lawyers call the claim unconfirmed and irrelevant, announce a forensic analysis of Chiara’s computer, and task a consultant to examine a possible thesis-file access between 22:09 and 22:14 on August 12, 2007.
  • A revised crime-scene reconstruction by the Poggi side places the start of the assault in the kitchen and cites DNA attributed to Stasi on an Estathé straw found in the trash.
  • Pavia prosecutors are conducting their own IT examinations on original forensic copies, with additional expert reports pending, including work by forensic pathologist Cristina Cattaneo.
  • The inquiry that includes Andrea Sempio remains open with no spring completion expected under Cartabia timelines, and any attempt to revisit Stasi’s final conviction would require distinct proceedings and new evidence.
