Overview
- One year after the file was reopened, the Pavia prosecutor’s office is nearing a decision following an incidente probatorio concluded in December.
- Key traces under review include DNA beneath Chiara Poggi’s nails compatible with the male line of the Sempio family and a palm print on a wall leading to the basement.
- Prosecutors and Alberto Stasi’s legal team consider the technical findings significant, while Sempio’s defense and the civil party argue they do not reframe the crime scene.
- Sempio denies involvement and, in a TV appearance on Quarto Grado, outlined his alibi, explained a Vigevano parking ticket, and addressed his presence near the Poggi home that day.
- Stasi remains definitively convicted and is serving a 16-year sentence after his lawyers prompted the checks that led to the 2025 reopening of the case.
