Garlasco murder: Trial requested for Andrea Sempio

Overview

The investigation into the 2007 murder of Chiara Poggi has reached a major escalation, as the Pavia Prosecutor's Office has formally requested that Andrea Sempio be sent to trial for aggravated murder. Prosecutors allege that Sempio attacked the victim with a blunt object, causing at least 12 injuries to her skull and face, before dragging her toward a cellar where further blows were struck. The prosecution suggests the attack was motivated by cruelty and vile motives following a rejected sexual advance.

Recent developments include the analysis of digital material seized from Sempio, including videos and personal diaries. Reports indicate the presence of recordings where Sempio discusses themes of violence and sexuality, as well as footage allegedly showing him filming female colleagues without their knowledge. Defense attorney Liborio Cataliotti has stated that new exculpatory evidence will be presented to contest the prosecution's theories regarding motive and presence at the crime scene.

Simultaneously, new scientific analyses have raised questions about the evidence used to convict Alberto Stasi. Forensic experts identified a mixed DNA profile on the black Lacoste shoes Stasi provided to investigators, which contains markers that could potentially match Poggi’s genetic profile. While geneticist Giorgio Portera has urged caution, noting that further statistical analysis is required, the finding may align with Stasi’s claim that he entered the house wearing those specific shoes, challenging the original judicial reasoning.

Sempio's defense team maintains his innocence and continues to contest the validity of the forensic evidence. They have characterized the legal situation as a “legal monster,” arguing that proceeding with a trial for Sempio while Stasi remains convicted creates a profound legal contradiction.
