Massimo Bossetti’s defense receives thousands of electropherograms and photos of Ris: new genetic data that could reopen the Yara case after fifteen years.
Garlasco it’s not enough. Another wound in the judicial news risks reopening: later six years of waiting, the defense of Massimo Bossetti has finally gained access to complete copies of the genetic analyses which led to his conviction forhomocide Of Yara Gambirasio. On November 18, 2025, Atty Claudio Salvagni he collected at the Court of Bergamo a hard disk containing thousands of electropherogramsthe graphic representations of the DNA sequences collected during the investigations in province of Bergamo.
The turning point after years of waiting
On June 20th, the Court had ordered the delivery of the material years after the 2019 authorization of the Court of Assizes. These are photographs taken by Res Of Parma, which have as their subject the findings analyzed during the investigations and the copies of the genetic tracings, documents having «the character of potential novelty of the test.” For years the defense has been asking to be able to independently verify the correctness of the analyzes that nailed it Bossettiand the new tests can open up scenarios that were ignored at the time.
“A’enormous size of raw data which will require months of work for a complete screening.” So does the lawyer Salvagni described the material received on 70 front and back pages in A3 formaton which the defense intends to carry out an in-depth review of the work of the Resfrom the collection of samples to the analyzes carried out up to the interpretations of the results.
In particular, the defense focused its attention on briefs on which the genetic trace mixed, containing the DNA of the victim and of the then “Unknown 1”, later identified as Massimo Bossetti. The condemned man’s lawyers are therefore aiming for a review of the trial: they have always maintained that the genetic analyzes presented irregularities and that not all the data had been made available during the hearing.
Fifteen years after his disappearance
2025 is the sad fifteenth anniversary of disappearance Of Yara Gambirasiowhich took place on November 26, 2010 by Brembate Above in the province of Bergamo. The girl vanished while returning from the gym and her body was found only months later in a field Chignolo d’Isolaa few kilometers from the hometown of Yara.
The autopsy revealed stab and blunt force injuries, but none lethal individually: the long painful death occurred due to a combination of those injuries and thehypothermia. Despite the absence of signs of sexual violence, traces of Male DNA were found on briefs and on leggings. The genetic profile that emerged from that material, called “Unknown 1”, was at the center of aextensive investigation genetics: in 2012 a match to the DNA of a illegitimate son Of Giuseppe Guerinonidriver deceased in 1999. That son was identified by taking genetic material with a fake breathalyzer from mason Of Mapello, Massimo Bossettithen arrested in 2014. In addition to his DNA, the prosecution highlighted the presence of his van near the gym where she was last seen Yarain addition to the location of Bossetti’s cell phone in the area. The bricklayer sentenced tolife sentence in the prison of Boilhas always declared himself innocent, although his alibi was considered at the time false.
The investigations therefore revealed a lot complexwith the genetic comparison of thousands of profiles collected. Defense lawyers will employ months to re-examine all the elements, but the doubt is already creeping in that yet another murder case could be reopened.
