Overview

• Prosecutors reopened the 2007 Poggi case in March to investigate Andrea Sempio for complicity after identifying his palm print on the cellar stairs and a male DNA profile under the victim’s nails.
• A renewed review of autopsy findings suggests Chiara Poggi may have died later than the originally established window, calling Sempio’s Vigevano parking ticket alibi into question.
• Carabinieri and RIS teams are attempting to recover the original plaster sample for imprint No. 33 and will use bloodstain pattern and forensic dynamics analysis to reconstruct the attack and pinpoint the murder weapon.
• Alberto Stasi’s defense has demanded a full scientific reevaluation of all physical evidence, including a partial female foot print believed to correspond to size 36/37.
• Justice Minister Carlo Nordio has criticized Stasi’s 2015 conviction as unreasonable following earlier acquittals and has urged legal reforms to correct procedural inconsistencies.
