Preliminary DNA analysis weakens suspicions on the new suspect
No genetic trace of Sempio on the crime-related materials
New developments have emerged in the investigation of the murder of Chiara Poggi, which took place in Garlasco on August 13, 2007. According to defense attorney Angela Taccia, representing Andrea Sempio, early results from DNA analysis on garbage items collected at the scene support the claim that Sempio was never inside the victim’s houseon the day of the crime.
“The first results confirm what my client has always stated: he never entered that house on August 13, 2007. We remain confident and await the completion of the forensic work,” stated attorney Taccia.
Only DNA from Stasi and Poggi detected
So far, the genetic traces recovered appear to belong solely to Chiara Poggi and Alberto Stasi, her boyfriend, who was convicted in 2015 after years of trials and appeals. No DNA traces of Andrea Sempio have been identified in the partial results available to date.
Reopened investigation, but evidence points away
Andrea Sempio became a suspect in 2016 based on new private expert analyses. However, the current scientific findings appear to weaken the case against him, raising doubts about his involvement. The judicial authorities and expert consultants are still working to finalize the complete analysis, which could provide further clarification.
