Overview
- Court-appointed expert Denise Albani has filed a report stating that mixed DNA from Chiara Poggi’s fingernails is compatible with Andrea Sempio’s paternal line, with likelihood ratios ranging from 17 to 2,153 depending on sample and database.
- Prosecutors’ consultants describe the genetic compatibility as strong or moderate, while the defense argues the comparison is legally worthless due to non-replicated assays.
- Defense lawyer Liborio Cataliotti says Sempio will not be questioned for now and has commissioned a counter-expertise exploring possible indirect DNA transfer, outlining 15–20 potential contact points.
- A December 18 incidente probatorio is scheduled in Pavia to fix the scientific record, with additional perizie from other experts expected to be finalized around the hearing.
- TV host Massimo Giletti aired an unconfirmed claim of further Sempio-line DNA on a fingernail not analyzed in 2007, as investigators also review motive leads involving calls to the Poggi home, locked intimate videos on the victim’s PC, social-media posts, and uncorroborated Bozzola sanctuary allegations; previously unheard Stasi intercepts were also broadcast.
