Garlasco murder case of Chiara Poggi sees new testimony

In a renewed investigation into the 2007 murder of Chiara Poggi in Garlasco, her brother Marco Poggi testified before prosecutors in Pavia. He emphatically denied ever seeing intimate videos of his sister that investigators suspect may have been a motive, stating, “I have never seen intimate videos of my sister Chiara.” The questioning focused on whether a friend, Andrea Sempio, could have accessed such material from a USB drive allegedly taken from Chiara’s room.

The case has also prompted commentary on the extensive media coverage, with legal experts warning that talk‑show analysis and public opinion can turn the judicial process into a parallel courtroom. Observers note the risk of “spectacularisation” of the trial, urging that the truth should emerge from the courts rather than from televised debates.
