Crime of Garlasco, DNA sampling for Andrea Semve: what happens now

Andrea Semplio He arrived in via Vincenzo Monti, in Milan, in Taxi, with him the lawyers Massimo Lovati and Angela Aga. On foot he entered the Montebello barracks: at ten he underwent the forced sampling of his DNA via salivary buffer. He fulfilled an obligation after refusing to take the withdrawal last week. The collected DNA will be compared with the DNA profiles detected on the nails of Chiara Poggi, who was killed in Garlasco on 13 August 2007. In the past they have been considered unusable. Now it’s no longer like that. There will be a consultant of the Pavia Prosecutor’s Office for the analyzes, as well as one of the defense.

The withdrawal

Semio, last week, had received an invitation to salivary withdrawalbut only agreed to the voluntary sample of the fingerprints at the request of the prosecutor Valentina De Stefano and the assistant prosecutor of Pavia Stefano Civardi, through the Carabinieri of Milan. The act is part of the new file that sees the 37 -year -old investigated for murder in competition, with other subjects or with Alberto Stasi who has already been definitively sentenced to 16 years for the murder of his girlfriend.

For Andrea Semplio, friend of Chiara Poggi’s brother, is the second return to the investigation, not to mention that he had also been heard at the beginning of the investigation. In 2016 it was the defense of Stasi who called him into question, this time it is the prosecutor of Pavia who was affected by the brother of Chiara and friends of the time. Then his position was archived. TO Fourth degree He said: “The most violent thing suffered? The invasion of privacy, the insults and threats that came from people who see services on TV ». He then said he had Chiara’s brother close and not knowing stasis.

Semve defenders

For about an hour he remained in the barracks. He left without making statements. His lawyers spoke saying that semium “is bad”. “We are serene, we have nothing to fear and we will collaborate,” Angela Taccia said. The lawyer Massimo Lovati explained: “The 2017 investigation was a machination, organized by the investigators of the study of the lawyers defenders of Stasi, who clandestinely took Andrea’s DNA. What finds are we talking about? There are no finds. Andrea is innocent, has nothing to do with it. He had no relationship with Chiara. The boy is quiet because he is innocent. It did not voluntarily undergo because we wanted the order of the investigating judge, a third person ».

What happens now

If there is correspondence between the Semium and the male DNA that was on the fingers of Chiara Poggi, it will not want to automatically say that he can be indicated as a killer or as an accomplice of those who killed. Very probable, however, that there is an application for revision brought by Alberto Stasi’s lawyers and that the sentences of the past are questioned.

The phone calls and other points of the investigation

DNA joins the phone calls. Semplio’s cell phone called Poggi Casa 5 times in the eight months before the crime. Three times they are connected to the return to Marco’s house, the other two date back to the days before the murder: 7 and 8 August 2007. There is a third call from the landline of the house always on August 7th. Massimo Alvati said that the man was looking for “his friend Marco, not clear, did not know he had left, otherwise he would not call”. The investigators also report the receipt of a parking lot in Vigevano held for a year. «That receipt was found by my father or mother on the car a few days after the fact. My mother said “for safety let’s keep it,” Said Semia in 2017. Now the lawyer says that “they are outdated things, already archived”. We also ask to review the analysis of the tracks on the soap dispenser in the Poggi house bathroom, attributed to Stasi, and that of the shoe number 42 always traced back to the then boyfriend.
