La combo mostra Andrea Sempio e Chiara Poggi. La Procura di Pavia, nell'invito a comparire per Andrea Sempio per il 6 maggio, ha modificato il capo di imputazione per omicidio volontario togliendo la parte in cui l'amico del fratello di Chiara Poggi era accusato in concorso con altri ignoti o con Alberto Stasi. Solo al 38enne, dunque, viene contestato ora dai pm pavesi l'omicidio della studentessa nella nuova indagine. Tra l'altro, la stessa Procura sta per sollecitare alla Procura generale di Milano una richiesta di revisione del processo Stasi, condannato in via definitiva a 16 anni. ANSA

the Garlasco case

Sempio's soliloquy: "There was blood when I went." And on Chiara Poggi: "She's a real bitch, she hung up the phone."

The suspect was heard in a wiretap while talking to himself in May and April 2025. And the receipt evidence also appears to have been dismantled.

Sempio's secret notes: "Stasi asked to reopen the investigation into me, my mother panicked."

The Carabinieri collected the statements of the suspect in Chiara Poggi's murder. The coroner "rewrites" the possible time frames for the crime.
