In a significant development in the Chiara Poggi murder case, authorities have conducted searches at the homes of Andrea Sempio, his parents, and two of his friends, Roberto Freddi and Mattia Capra. These operations, which took place in the early hours of Wednesday, May 14, 2025, were aimed at seizing electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers. The searches are part of a renewed effort to uncover new evidence in the murder that occurred on August 13, 2007, in Garlasco, Pavia.
The investigation has taken a new turn with the notification of a guarantee notice to Andrea Sempio by the Pavia prosecutor's office on March 11, 2025, accusing him of complicity in the murder. Sempio, who was 19 at the time of the crime and a friend of Chiara's brother, Marco Poggi, has been called in for DNA testing. This move seeks to clarify doubts regarding male DNA traces found under Chiara Poggi's nails, which may belong to another individual present at the crime scene.
Despite the conviction of Alberto Stasi, Chiara's ex-boyfriend, in 2015, who was sentenced to 16 years and is currently on semi-liberty, the case has remained controversial. Stasi has consistently maintained his innocence, prompting further investigations. The recent searches and DNA tests indicate the authorities' determination to leave no stone unturned in their quest for justice for Chiara Poggi.
The involvement of Andrea Sempio and the focus on his acquaintances underscore the complexity of the case, which has captivated public attention for nearly two decades. As the investigation progresses, the legal and media scrutiny surrounding Sempio and his associates highlights the challenges of solving a crime that has remained unresolved for 18 years. The outcome of these latest developments could potentially rewrite the narrative of one of Italy's most perplexing murder mysteries.
