Adnkronos Milan, May 15 (Adnkronos) – – Three unnamed fingerprints on the cardboard of two pizzas and a male DNA that has so far been considered unreliable. We start again from here for Andrea Sempio the day after the search and the summons to the barracks (for simple formalities) always in favor of cameras. Tomorrow, Friday May 16, the second hearing of the evidentiary incident will be held in the new investigation by the Pavia Prosecutor's Office – entrusted to the Milan Carabinieri – on the murder of Chiara Poggi.
Killed in Garlasco on August 13, 2007, her case is solved: her then boyfriend Alberto Stasi was definitively sentenced to 16 years in prison, a sentence he has almost finished serving.
Almost 18 years after the crime - after two rejected revisions and various attempts by the defense of the convicted to point the finger elsewhere - Sempio has been investigated for complicity in murder: for the Prosecutor's Office and the defense Stasi is the DNA found on the victim's nails. Now the experts appointed by the preliminary investigations judge of Pavia Daniela Garlaschelli - the geneticist Denise Albani and the technical superintendent Domenico Marchigiani of the scientific police - will have to establish whether the genetic trace found on the victim's nails is compatible with the genetic heritage of the victim's brother's friend.
The first point is the most controversial: evaluating the usability of the profile extracted from the material found on the nails of the twenty-six year old. In the second appeal trial against Stasi, the expert Francesco De Stefano had concluded, in agreement with the consultants, on the inusability of the results. Conclusion always shared by the geneticist Marzio Capra (Poggi family) and the former commander of the RIS Luciano Garofano (Sempio). Of the opposite opinion is the forensic geneticist Ugo Ricci consultant of Stasi and Carlo Previderé who in his report to the Pavia Prosecutor's Office speaks of compatibility.
The trace taken in Sempio last March 13 could provide the match, but the Y chromosome (on the fragments of the victim's nails) is not identifying: it only indicates the paternal line and cannot be dated. It is unlikely that it could be enough on its own to formulate the charges against the young man who frequented the villa on Via Pascoli. Furthermore, the element does not fit well with the dynamics of the murder: Chiara Poggi, every sentence clarifies, was surprised by the murderer and did not try to defend herself.
The appointment tomorrow, Friday 16 May, will serve not only to define the possible question on which the expert and consultants will have to work, but also to verify the presence of Sempio's fingerprints at Poggi's house: 60 fingerprints were found immediately after the crime in the house and the investigators have given a name to all of them, except for three traces on the boxes of the two pizzas eaten by the victim and her boyfriend the night before the murder. The evidentiary incident will also extend to the swabs kept at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Pavia and to the evidence kept in the laboratories of the RIS in Parma. In an investigation that does not spare daily surprises, sparks are also expected tomorrow in the courtroom.
