Garlasco case, former Stasi consultants deny Capra on false negatives

It is "absolutely" false that Alberto Stasi's former technical consultants Francesco Maria Avato and Matteo Fabbri learned in 2007 of the two false negatives in the bicycle pedal tests after the positive with Chiara Poggi's genetic profile.

The two experts underline this to deny what was said in Quarto Grado by the Poggi family consultant Marzio Capra according to which "on 24 September 2007 the undersigned Stasi CTs, Prof Avato and Dr Fabbri, were informed by the Ris of the existence of two negative runs on the 'pedal' sample during a meeting which took place on the same date, it is specified that the circumstance is absolutely false".

"Such very serious and incomprehensible statements by Dr. Marzio Capra, which cast heavy shadows on the actions of the undersigned - they announced - will find adequate protection in the competent bodies. In the meantime, the undersigned will ask the Public Prosecutor's Office of Pavia to be heard as people informed on the facts, so that this unfortunate matter can be definitively clarified".

"The undersigned have never had knowledge (neither visual nor documentary), neither on that date nor subsequently during the trial, that that sample had given negative results. Unfortunately, these have only recently become known from new developments - observed Avato and Fabbri - Proof of this is that they were never included in the file nor were they mentioned in any procedural document or consultancy, much less were they sent to the experts of Judge Dr. Vitelli in 2009".

The two consultants at the time also recalled "what was highlighted by Prof Angelo Giarda at the validation hearing on 27 September 2007, who expressly stated that the Stasi CTs had and knew only two tracks, one for Chiara Poggi (for comparison) and a single, positive one for the pedal (race on 19 September 2007)".
