Overview

  • The Procura di Pavia will hold a probatory hearing on June 17 to analyze untested fingerprints and mixed male DNA traces collected from Chiara Poggi’s fingernails and household items at the Garlasco crime scene.
  • A recent report by consultant Carlo Previderè identifies one of five distinct Y-chromosome profiles under Poggi’s nails as matching Andrea Sempio, while four other male profiles remain unassigned.
  • Marzio Capra, the Poggi family’s forensic advisor, has proposed extending DNA sampling to Carabinieri RIS officers, medico-legal experts and analysts who previously handled the evidence to rule out contamination.
  • The Poggi and Cappa families have issued defamation warnings and intend to pursue legal action against media outlets and individuals propagating unverified theories about a secret lover or motives tied to the Santuario della Bozzola.
  • Defense teams for Andrea Sempio and Alberto Stasi’s mother have challenged earlier interrogations and alibis, suggesting alternative suspects and questioning the scope of the original inquiry.
