Overview
- The court‑appointed geneticist Denise Albani filed a perizia reporting biostatistical support from “moderately strong/strong” to “moderate” that Y‑DNA on Chiara Poggi’s nails is compatible with the Sempio paternal line.
- The report says the traces are partial and mixed, cannot identify any individual, and do not establish whether DNA was under or above the nails, how deposition occurred, or when it happened.
- Albani notes earlier 2014 methods limited result replication, yet she proceeded with YHRD analysis, finding one nail trace with stronger support and a second with moderate support, plus indications of another minor contributor.
- Separate findings detail DNA attributable to Poggi and to Alberto Stasi on household trash items, while dozens of latent‑print acetates yielded no usable genetic profiles for comparison.
- Reactions diverge: prosecutors treat the Y‑DNA as a lead, Sempio’s defense calls the result unreliable and consistent with secondary transfer, Stasi’s lawyer cites a “first point firm” excluding Stasi from the nails, and the Poggi family’s lawyers stress nothing new incriminates Sempio as the Brescia probe on the 2017 archiving continues.
