TO almost twenty years from crime of garlasconew investigations restart one of the best known and complex cases of the Italian news. This time, to be involved, it is Andrea Semplio, A friend of the victim’s brotheralready investigated at the time and then acquitted. After a decision of the Court of Cassation, which accepted the request to reopen the tragic story of the murder of Chiara Poggi, The man was achieved by a guarantee notice and will have totherefore, undergo new investigations on DNA.
Crime of Garlasco, a case still open
As is known, for the tragic crime of the 26 -year -old student, which took place on 13 August 2007, The ex -boyfriend Alberto Stasi was definitively sentencedwho is serving a 16 -year sentence of imprisonment. Stasi has always declared his innocence, but The judges considered him responsible for the brutal massacre It took place in the villa in the Poggi family, where Chiara was found dead with the flashed skull on the cellar stairs.
Alberto Stasi’s strenuous defense
Despite the condemnation of Stasihowever,, The case continues to make people discuss. The defense has continually tried, over the years, to bring out elements that could indicate another manager. And, one of these, it concerns precisely Semve, whose name had already emerged during the defensive investigations, conducted on behalf of the Giarda Law Firm. According to a report commissioned in 2017 by Stasi’s lawyers, Traces of DNA attributable to Semve would have been found under the nails of Chiara Poggi. However, at the time, the judge for the preliminary investigations of Pavia had rejected this theory, Archived the accusations against Semve and calling defense efforts to identify an alternative guilty.

The importance of new techniques on DNA
Today, the investigations on semium have been reopened, thanks to the progress in DNA’s analysis technologies. In fact, more advanced methods have made it possible to consider the genetic material collected on the crime scene again. And, as part of the new investigations, the carabinieri of the Milan Investigation Unit, by delegation of the Pavia Prosecutor’s Office, have notified a guarantee notice to Semve On charges of murder in competition with unknown persons or with Alberto Stasi himself. The decision to submit it to coactive tests came after the man refused to voluntarily collaborate, as stated by his lawyer, Massimo Lovati. “Andrea Semplio is stunned and upset,” said the lawyer, stressing that his client declares himself totally foreign to the facts.
Reopening of the case on the crime Garlasco
The reopening of the investigations was possible thanks to an appeal in the Court of Cassation presented by the PM of Pavia, who obtained the green light to proceed with new genetic tests. Experts believe that current technologies can offer more precise results compared to what was possible at the time of the first process. The investigating judge of Pavia, initially against the reopening, had to adapt to the decision of the “Ermellini” of last December, which recognized the validity of the investigative hypotheses of the Prosecutor.
A step back to clarify
The new phase of the investigations represents a further attempt to clarify one of the most controversial crimes of recent years. If on the one hand, in fact, semium has been investigated again after years of silence, on the other Stasi’s defense continues to insist on the innocence of his client. The story of Garlasco, with its twists and turns and numerous scientific appraisals, remains a coincidence that divides public opinion.
Now, with the new genetic tests, it will be crucial to determine if they emerge Elements capable of changing the course of the judicial history of this case. Or if, on the other hand, the accusations against Stasi will continue to hold up. In any case, it is hoped that justice can bring further responses to Chiara Poggi’s family members, who have been waiting for clarity for years on that tragic day of 2007.
