Second Parking Receipt Emerges in Garlasco Case, Undercutting Long-Cited Alibi

The newly surfaced receipt injects fresh scrutiny into the 13 August ticket long treated as a near-alibi.

Overview

  • Quarto Grado aired an image of a 14 August 2007 parking receipt linked to the Sempio family, with il Giornale reporting it was found during a search at Andrea Sempio’s parents’ home.
  • The receipt is timestamped 17:32 from the Vigevano bookstore parking area, the same location tied to the 13 August ticket.
  • The Sempio family says they do not clearly recall who parked that day, suggesting it may have been Andrea returning after finding the bookstore closed on 13 August.
  • The 13 August receipt, long weighed as a near-alibi, carries no license plate number and was produced for investigators about a decade later, factors that have driven doubts about its probative value.
  • Andrea Sempio remains the only person formally under investigation, while former marshal Giuseppe Spoto said a 2017 meeting with Sempio coincided with the installation of a listening device in Sempio’s car and denied any wrongdoing.
