Photo of Unknown Figure Inside Poggi Home Raises New Questions in Garlasco Probe

The case now turns on disputed DNA plus lingering questions about how the scene was secured.

Overview

  • Rai’s Ore 14 Sera highlighted a crime‑scene image timestamped 15:07 on August 13, 2007 that appears to show an unidentified person with a handbag inside the Poggi residence.
  • Defense lawyers asked why no fingerprints attributable to that person were reported and why the individual was not removed from the restricted area.
  • Andrea Sempio, currently the sole suspect under investigation by Pavia prosecutors, joined his legal team at Rome’s Genomics Laboratory to review potential points of DNA transfer.
  • Sempio denied killing Chiara Poggi in recent TV interviews and contends that DNA under her nails is weak, mixed or possibly contaminated, while also disputing attribution of the so‑called “impronta 33.”
  • In a separate track, Brescia prosecutors are investigating Giuseppe Sempio for alleged corruption, and investigators have seized a second note detailing legal expenses linked to Andrea’s past proceedings.
