Garlasco murder, Andrea Sempio: "There are no arguments for a trial"

"I don't think there are any arguments that would lead to a real trial." This is the position of Andrea Sempio, against whom there is a request for indictment by the Pavia Prosecutor's Office as part of the new investigation into the murder of Chiara Poggi, which occurred in Garlasco in August 2007. Sempio spoke in the program Quarto Grado, on Retequattro. “If it happens that we have to go to trial, that is, face a real trial, we will face it,” he said. Alberto Stasi, the victim's boyfriend at the time, was definitively convicted of the murder and is now considering with his lawyers to request a review of the trial.

Sempio's position on the footprints

In a preview of the interview, Sempio answers a question about the shoe print present at the crime scene and, in particular, about the prosecutor's advice on the compatibility of his foot. "I had the 44 at the time and I still have it today", said the 38 year old, and added that if they had found in his house "a shoe attributable to that one, perhaps stained with Chiara's blood, that's one thing. But as long as you say 'it's compatible', it's fine. You don't have a real element that connects". Regarding the palm print 33 that was found on the wall of the stairs, at the bottom of which was the body of Chiara Poggi, Sempio underlined: "We did experiments on a wall and in reality it couldn't be ruled out. We don't need to know what it might not be or what can't be ruled out. You have to be certain. Was there a trace on the wall? Yes. Has it been analysed? Yes. Was there blood? No. The end. As I see it, the question ends there."
