Overview
- Investigators say new forensic work places Sempio at the scene, citing his DNA under two of Chiara Poggi’s fingernails and a palm print on the stairwell wall.
- A medico‑legal review widened and then focused the time‑of‑death window after the home alarm was switched off at 9:12, which investigators say gave Sempio time to act.
- Carabinieri report finding a handwritten note Sempio threw away with words they link to the crime and to how he approached women, as well as intercepted monologues about “videos” and “I burned them all.”
- Prosecutors point to device files and notebooks they say show searches for violent sexual content and a fixation on coercion, framing a rejected approach that escalated into a brutal assault.
- Sempio invoked his right to remain silent and says he is innocent, his lawyers dispute the print and DNA readings and have begun a defense psychological assessment, and prosecutors signal the findings weaken the case that put Stasi in prison.
