They are convinced that only a little over a year and a half ago the Pavia Prosecutor's Office began to seriously investigate, on their impulse, the murder of Chiara Poggi, rewriting the history of the Garlasco crime, so much so that the request for trial for Andrea Sempio was "the only possible epilogue". And while Alberto Stasi's two lawyers are still working on the review request, strengthened by that new investigation and with other 'aces up their sleeves', they are also sending a clear message to the defenders of the 38-year-old clerk, referring to some back and forth on TV in recent days.
Without prejudice to the "presumption of innocence and the inalienable right of defense of the accused", i.e. of Sempio, the lawyers Giada Bocellari and Antonio De Rensis hope "that, once the trial has now begun, the energies will be oriented towards defending the latter's position and will not seek alternative paths, once again attacking the person of Alberto Stasi, as happened recently on aspects which have no basis or connection with the murder charged today to Example". Every "attempt in this sense", they add, "besides being useless, will find, from now on, a firm response from the Stasi defense".
The request for indictment against Sempio, the two Stasi defenders write again in a note, "marks a decisive step in a serious and penetrating investigation, carried out for the first time by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Pavia 19 years after the murder of Chiara Poggi, as well as the only possible epilogue in the face of the serious investigative picture that has emerged".
Despite "the continuous and useless attempts at delegitimisation, if not even mockery - they continue - perpetrated against all those who in some way strongly wanted to shed light on a story that has always been full of doubts and anomalies, the scientific, declarative, interceptive and documentary evidence acquired, according to the Pavia Prosecutor's Office, totally rewrites the history of Garlasco's murder".
Then, the reference to the review of that 16-year sentence which was final in 2015 and which the former Bocconi student, now an accountant, is finishing serving on probation. "In this situation and in light of the very serious facts that have emerged (and those that have not yet emerged but which the Stasi defense is in possession of) - explain Alberto's lawyers - it is believed that the only possible attitude towards the person of Stasi is that of respectfully waiting for the review judgement. As for the timing - they clarify - for now, also due to the delicate nature of the phase, we cannot and do not want to give any indications, but we can only say that there will be updates shortly".
In fact, for weeks the defenders of the 43-year-old have been pointing out that in their application to the Court of Appeal of Brescia there will also be other new and disruptive elements, in addition to all the alleged omissions and anomalies regarding the work of the RIS that have come to light from the new investigation by the Prosecutor's Office. Like those two null results on the DNA on the pedals which did not end up in the trial documents, the alleged exchange of test tubes and then the test on the presence of blood which would have given a negative result and was not communicated. And yet another male DNA, again traced on the pedals, and this too not included in the file.
