New Forensic Leak in Garlasco Case Points to Struggle and Later Time of Death

The leaks have prompted prosecutors in Pavia to revisit evidence pointing to Andrea Sempio.

Overview

  • Details reported by TG1 on Sunday describe a prolonged fight, injuries consistent with defense, and a multistage assault on the stairs in a report by anatomopathologist Cristina Cattaneo.
  • The same leaks suggest the killing occurred at least half an hour after breakfast, a timing that differs from the long-accepted timeline in the 2007 murder of Chiara Poggi.
  • DNA found under Poggi’s nails is reported as not matching Alberto Stasi and as compatible with Sempio’s paternal line, though the Poggi family’s lawyer cites prior experts who call the profile partial and not fit for individual identification.
  • A palm print known as “impronta 33” on the stairwell wall is reported by several outlets as newly attributed to Sempio using updated fingerprint analysis with 15 matching points.
  • The Pavia prosecutor’s office has reopened the Sempio file and ordered new checks on computers, fingerprints, and DNA, while any impact on Stasi’s final conviction would require a formal request for review.
