Italian TV program Quarto Grado revisits Garlasco murder and Campobasso poisoning cases
The Italian television show Quarto Grado aired new episodes in late June focusing on two high‑profile criminal investigations. The main segment examined the 2007 Garlasco murder of Chiara Poggi, highlighting fresh investigative material such as DNA found beneath Poggi’s fingernails that prosecutors say matches the paternal line of suspect Andrea Sempio. The broadcast also reviewed contested video excerpts, with one quoted remark attributed to Sempio: “Si sono filmati perché hanno visto dei firmati porno.”
A secondary feature revisited the Campobasso case, wherein mother Antonella Di Ielsi and daughter Sara Di Vita died in December from suspected ricin poisoning. The program reported that a German bio‑terrorism team has been engaged to analyze seized food and biological samples. The episode concluded with the “Speciale carceri” segment, presenting an interview with former TV host Alessandro Cozzi about his past criminal convictions.
Overall, the show assembled legal experts, forensic analysts, and journalists to reassess the evidence and unresolved questions surrounding both the Garlasco homicide and the Campobasso poisonings.
