Garlasco crime, Andrea Sempio's defense files advice to avoid trial

The defense of Andrea Sempio, with the lawyers Liborio Cataliotti and Angela Taccia, filed the announced five consultations to respond point by point to the latest reports from the Pavia prosecutors attached to the closure of the investigations on 28 September. Prosecutors who will ask for the 38-year-old to be tried for the aggravated murder of Chiara Poggi, a crime of 13 August 2007 which occurred in Garlasco for which Alberto Stasi was definitively convicted. The aim of Sempio's lawyers, as he himself explained in the exclusive interview given to Sky TG24, is to respond point by point to the latest reports from the prosecutors who will ask for the 38-year-old to be tried. Speaking to Diletta Giuffrida, Sempio underlined that he hoped "not to end up in the actual trial. On the one hand, I am happy that the investigation has finally been closed".

Among the themes of the defense documents, the size of Sempio's foot, larger than the shoe that left the well-known imprint with a dot sole (the palmar trace 33 is not attributable and without blood). But also the DNA on the victim's nails with unreliable and partial compatibility results, as well as some medical-legal counter-deductions on the dynamics of the crime, injuries and time of death. The lawyer Angela Taccia, who assists Sempio with her colleague Liborio Cataliotti, will listen, as she has done in recent days, to the irrelevant wiretaps, those not filed in the file, at the Prosecutor's Office. After the investigation has been concluded and the defense reports have been filed, the Prosecutor's Office will ask for the 38-year-old to be brought to trial. In theory, according to the code, you have nine months after the closure to carry out criminal proceedings. Then, the ball will pass to a gup. Meanwhile, Stasi's defense is still awaiting the filing of the request for review by the Court of Appeal of Brescia. The review proceedings and those against Sempio could be intertwined, so much so that the clerk's defense could raise a question of constitutional legitimacy before the preliminary hearing judge, if a judgment on the review request has not yet been reached, given that there is a definitive conviction and an accused for the same fact and not in competition.
