Overview

  • Preliminary analysis of an 18-year-old oral swab uncovered two distinct male Y-chromosome profiles that do not match Alberto Stasi or Andrea Sempio.
  • One profile is compatible with Ernesto Gabriele Ferrari, the assistant to the medical examiner who conducted the original autopsy.
  • The second, more complete male DNA profile remains unassigned pending further identification efforts.
  • Judicial authorities plan to replicate the oral swab examination to confirm the findings and address potential contamination.
  • The privacy authority has blocked the paid online distribution of Poggi’s autopsy video to protect evidence integrity and the victim’s dignity.
