The case concerns the management of biological findings, in particular the DNA on the bicycle pedals, in the trial for the murder of Chiara Poggi.
"There is a report dated 24 September 2007 which certifies that all the results obtained up to that moment were made available to the party consultants, who signed with their own hand. Everything else is just instrumental suppositions not supported by the official documents".
The former RIS general Luciano Garofano explains this in relation to the question of DNA on the pedals and in particular of those two null results of 20 September which, according to the Pavia Prosecutor's Office which opened a file without suspects on the work of the former investigators and for the defense of Alberto Stasi, would not have been made available to the parties.
Garofano refers to a "technical operations report" from the Parma Ris dated 24 September in which it is written that that day "in the offices of the Department" Captain Alberto Marino, who directly dealt with the biological investigations, "had the technical consultants of the parties examined so far" Avato and Fabbri, for the Stasi defense, and Capra for the civil party Poggi. Below are the signatures of the consultants.
While on the one hand the Poggi family's lawyers, as soon as the case of those "raw data" on the null results emerged (after a first valid match with Chiara's DNA on 19 September), pointed out that these are not new data, Stasi's lawyers, who recovered them by asking the RIS for them last year, maintain, for their part, that they never became aware of them. "Of these two electrophoretic tests of 09.20.2007 - wrote the prosecutor Fabio Napoleone three days ago - and of the related completely negative traces, no trace was found in any document of the proceedings/trial held against Stasi Alberto".
In the meantime, in a document sent to the Pavia Prosecutor's Office on 25 September 2007 by the lawyers of the Stasi era, we read that the then consultant Francesco Maria Avato gave an account of the fact that the defense had not been "notified of the continuation of the analyzes on 20 and 21 September".
