Prosecutors Probe 2017 Payments, Deny ‘Super Witness’ Claim as Sempio’s Evidence Hearing Continues

A 2017 recording about a 7,000-euro cheque fuels financial inquiries tied to the earlier archiving of Andrea Sempio’s position.

Overview

  • Andrea Sempio is under investigation in Pavia for complicity in the murder of Chiara Poggi, with a court-ordered evidentiary hearing underway and set to conclude on December 18, 2025.
  • Prosecutors in Brescia and Pavia are examining whether cash movements helped facilitate Sempio’s rapid 2017 archiving after TV aired an intercept of his father discussing a 7,000-euro cheque.
  • Investigators have rejected reports of a new ‘super witness’ claiming the Vigevano parking receipt used to support Sempio’s account was fake.
  • The parking ticket was provided to investigators on October 4, 2008 when Sempio was not a suspect, and case files note his mother’s phone connected to cells in Garlasco and Gambolò, not Vigevano, that morning.
  • The defense has reshaped its team, convened a strategy meeting in Rome, and Sempio recently underwent anthropometric measurements by forensic expert Cristina Cattaneo.
