Overview

• On May 30 the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office appealed to the Court of Cassation to overturn the April ruling granting Alberto Stasi semi-liberty after an unapproved Le Iene interview during a family-reunion permit.
• Stasi has been serving a 16-year sentence for the 2007 murder of Chiara Poggi and was allowed daytime release in April for work and reintegration activities under oversight of the Surveillance Tribunal.
• Bollate prison director Giorgio Leggieri told judges that the March 22 interview did not breach any permit conditions, a finding echoed by the court when it approved Stasi’s semi-liberty.
• Stasi’s defense insists that prison authorities and the Surveillance Tribunal have already cleared the interview issue and that he remains a model inmate on track to complete his sentence in October 2029.
• Separately, the Pavia prosecutor has reopened the Poggi case after uncovering fresh phone and SMS records suggesting potential involvement of Andrea Sempio in the 2007 killing.
