Milan, 11 May (LaPresse) – There was another investigation by the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Pavia into the Garlasco murder, of which nothing was known for 13 years. It was opened against persons unknown in 2013 on the basis of a ‘complaint’ filed by the ‘defence team of the convicted man’ Alberto Stasi at a time when Chiara Poggi’s ex-boyfriend was still at large and had not even faced the second appeal hearing regarding his first conviction. This is a circumstance that emerges from the documents in the file on Andrea Sempio within a brief filed by Deputy Public Prosecutor Stefano Civardi together with Public Prosecutors Valentina De Stefano and Giuliana Rizza. During the ‘course of proceedings’ in the Garlasco case, the Pavia prosecutors write, ‘a second set of proceedings was initiated at this very office’. It is listed under register number 255/2013 and was brought against persons unknown. A motion to dismiss the case was filed on 3 December 2015, two weeks before Stasi’s 16-year sentence became final following the Supreme Court’s ruling, on the grounds that “proceedings regarding the murder of Chiara Poggi are already underway in another criminal trial against a known suspect”. “To date,” the request for dismissal continued, “no evidence has emerged to suggest further liability on the part of third parties.” This request for dismissal was granted by the investigating magistrate in Pavia almost three years later, on 2 January 2018.
