Garlasco, the filing of the five Sempio defense consultancies is ready

Andrea Sempio's defense is expected to file the announced five consultations late this morning to respond point by point to the latest reports from the Pavia prosecutors attached to the closing 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 in Garlasco in 2007, for which Alberto Stasi was definitively convicted.

Among the topics of the defense documents are the size of Sempio's foot, larger than the shoe that left the well-known dot-soled imprint, the non-attributable and bloodless palmar trace 33 and 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.

At the end of the morning, from what we know, the defenders will file the five reports with the Prosecutor's Office within 20 days after the investigation has closed (the deadline would have been 18 October). In the meantime, 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 preliminary hearing judge, while Stasi's defense still awaits 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.
