Overview

  • The scraped plaster fragment bearing fingerprint 33 attributed to Andrea Sempio was not located among the original evidence, halting further testing on that imprint
  • Forensic experts confirmed that trace 10 on the interior of Poggi’s front door contains no blood but may yield DNA for comparison
  • DNA recovered from Chiara Poggi’s fingernails has already matched Andrea Sempio, intensifying scrutiny of his role in the 2007 killing
  • Magistrates have approved a second round of incident probatorio to apply advanced DNA techniques to the garbage seized from Poggi’s home in 2007
  • Alberto Stasi remains convicted in connection with Poggi’s murder, yet investigators are re-examining multiple pieces of evidence to assess potential involvement by Sempio
