Overview
- Andrea Sempio, the only person formally under investigation in the reopened case, said on television that he did not kill Chiara Poggi.
- Sempio said he has not listened to the intercepted recordings and will not discuss them for now.
- Investigators cite phone taps and items seized in May 2025 to back a theory of a sexual motive tied to an intimate video, which Sempio says he never saw.
- Retired carabiniere Silvio Sapone told Pavia prosecutors that his calls to Sempio in January 2017 were for routine notification and not help, a point investigators have questioned.
- Forensic consultant Dario Redaelli challenged the prosecution’s scene reconstruction, saying one photo of the cellar stairs and the lack of shoe prints do not support the claim that the body was pushed up to the fourth step.
