Example: 'Footprint 33 cannot be attributed, I have always had size 44 shoes'

"In my opinion, footprint 33 cannot be attributed either to me or to anyone. Even if we want to attribute it to Andrea Sempio, it is on a section of the wall where other people have left their handprint, because they simply leaned on it while going down the stairs. We feel quite sure about footprint 33." Thus in an interview with Sky TG24 Andrea Sempio, investigated for the murder of Chiara Poggi in the new investigations by the Pavia Prosecutor's Office into the Garlasco crime.

According to what we learn, his lawyers will file the final consultations tomorrow in view of the deadline, scheduled for October 18th. "We exclude that it is mine: we cannot find those minutiae, neither mine nor enough minutiae in general to attribute them to someone - adds Sempio -.

We believe we can prove that it was not a bloody footprint." Among other things, "since I was 17-18 years old I have always had the 44. We feel very strongly about that impression because we carried out tests that had never been done before, with a shoe technician who worked on the shoe model attributed to the murderer. We also involved an expert from a different sector: they worked blindly, without being in contact with each other, and they arrived at the same result".

"I would have liked to meet them, but I understand that at the moment it is not the case" Sempio then said speaking of Chiara Poggi's parents. "I believe that their position, on an emotional level, is perhaps even worse than mine: they have faced years and years of trials and have lost a daughter."

"At the moment - concluded Sempio - I don't even know if I am under investigation for the corruption part: we have made a request to find out, we have yet to have a response".
