Lucrezia Ciotti The Garlasco case is once again in the spotlight following new revelations from Giada Bocellari, Alberto Stasi 's lawyer , who announced further critical elements emerging from the investigation into Chiara Poggi's murder. In Quarta Repubblica, the lawyer anticipates another alleged anomaly in the Parma RIS laboratories and revisits Stasi's statements in court before his sentencing.
Garlasco, Stasi, and the courtroom speech before sentencing: Bocellari's recollections
The broadcast also discussed Alberto Stasi's spontaneous statements in court before his sentencing for Chiara Poggi 's murder . Porro reiterated some passages from his remarks, in which he emphasized his personal connection with the victim and denounced what he considered to be relentless targeting.
Among the incidents cited was the controversy over the alleged bicycle pedal swapping , a hypothesis that, according to his speech, was later ruled out by a technical report. " I knew it; I've never swapped pedals in my life ," Stasi stated, disputing the public portrayal of him.
Bocellari explained that he disagreed with his client's decision to speak personally during the trial, because he already believed a conviction was highly likely. " I personally didn't agree; I didn't even know what he would say ," he said, clarifying that it was Stasi who insisted on speaking. He had prepared the statement independently, without even showing it to his lawyers in advance. According to the lawyer, the trial climate of those months left little room for optimism, and any statement could have been used to fuel further criticism.
"Another very serious matter discovered," Garlasco case: the unexpected announcement
The murder case of Chiara Poggi , killed in Garlasco in 2007 , is back at the center of debate following new statements from Giada Bocellari, the longtime lawyer for Alberto Stasi, who was definitively convicted of the crime . During the October 12 episode of Quarta Repubblica, the Rete 4 program hosted by Nicola Porro, the lawyer revealed the existence of further evidence emerging from the examination of documents relating to the initial investigation. Without going into detail, she discussed an incident that allegedly occurred in the RIS laboratories in Parma and which, in her opinion, is of a gravity comparable to the alleged irregularities already contested by the defense.
Bocellari returned specifically to the counter-analysis of the sample that revealed the presence of Chiara Poggi's DNA on Stasi's bicycle and the tests on the blood on the pedals, which the defense claimed were negative. She maintains that these results should not have been included in the proceedings against her client and that, if considered at the time, they could have affected the outcome of the case. " It's not over ," she stated, adding that the critical issues identified so far are not the only ones: " There is something at least as serious as this ."
The new investigations involving Andrea Sempio and the verification of past investigative activities are now bringing attention back to those years, while the further charges raised by Stasi's defense remain to be clarified and verified.
