Italian television programming on Rete 4 has focused on high-profile true crime investigations throughout September 2026.

On September 18, the program ‘Quarto Grado’ covered several cases, including the Garlasco murder. This coverage examined the judicial position of Andrea Sempio and Alberto Stasi’s request for a trial revision regarding the 2007 murder of Chiara Poggi. Other topics included the murder of Pierina Paganelli and the desecration of Pamela Genini’s grave.

By September 30, the talk show ‘È sempre Cartabianca’ continued coverage of the Garlasco case, specifically addressing new developments regarding Andrea Sempio and previously unrecorded counter-analyses from 2007 related to Alberto Stasi. The broadcast also featured an interview with Naples Prosecutor Nicola Gratteri and an investigation into ‘security influencers’ who film urban decay.
