Garlasco Case Nears Charging Decision as Final Forensics Come In

Prosecutors in Pavia expect key reports within weeks that could trigger an indictment of Andrea Sempio.

Overview

  • - Investigators are awaiting an independent examination of the PCs and other expert reports, with a definitive forensic dossier expected within about 90 days that will steer the case toward closure or trial.
  • - A court-ordered report filed in December by police biologist Denise Albani found degraded Y-chromosome DNA under Chiara Poggi’s fingernails compatible with Andrea Sempio’s male line.
  • - Computer-forensic analyses conflict over whether Poggi opened a folder of explicit images on Alberto Stasi’s PC during a 10-minute window, and a third independent perizia has been tasked to resolve the dispute.
  • - Corriere della Sera reports prosecutors could seek a rinvio a giudizio within two to three months, with the 18‑month preliminary-investigation deadline expiring in August 2026.
  • - Panorama reports a recent perizia points to a later time of death closer to lunchtime, a shift that remains to be confirmed and could materially alter the reconstruction of events.
