The Garlasco case heats up again. Andrea Sempioinvestigated for the murder of Chiara Poggiannounced that he wanted to take a few days before deciding whether or not to confirm his lawyer Massimo Lovatiwho ended up at the center of the storm after the statements made to Fabrizio Corona in the program Extremely false.
In a video broadcast by Fourth DegreeSempio clarified: «We recently concluded the meeting with the lawyer Lovati. It was a peaceful confrontation, no animosity. I will take a few days to evaluate whether to continue with him or not.”
The words and the chaos around the lawyer
Lovati’s sentences on Corona – in which she defined the deputy prosecutor Stefano Civardi “cursed” and “linked to Opus Dei” — have caused a media and disciplinary earthquake. The lawyer then attempted to justify himself by claiming that he had been “betrayed” and that he had “drank too much”, but Sempio’s defense now falters.
Andrea’s mother, Daniela Sempiotold investigators that he chose Lovati “because she was cheap.” The minutes also reveal cash withdrawals for more than that 13 thousand euros and questions about undocumented payments to lawyers: “We were in their hands,” the father said Giuseppe Sempiotalking about an overall expense between 55 and 60 thousand euros for just three months of activity.
The arrival of Palmegiani and the new phase of the defense
He joined the team in recent days Armando Palmegianinew consultant appointed after the departure of Luciano Garofano. An entry that has already raised controversy, since in the past Palmegiani had commented online on the clues collected against Sempio, from the DNA found under Chiara Poggi’s nails to the controversial footprint number 33.
“They welcomed me with a shocking media attack,” he said Corriere della Serarejecting accusations of bias.
The mystery of the missing wiretaps
As if that wasn’t enough, in the last few hours the yellow has been reignited bugs installed on Sempio’s cars. According to new revelations, some recordings from 2017 are disappeared from the fileparticularly those arranged on the Fiat Panda registered in the name of aunt Ivana, now involved in corruption investigations.
While of Suzuki Swift There are complete installation and decommissioning reports, no official trace remains of the Panda. A procedural hole that investigators define as “anomalous” and which opens up new questions about the management of audio material.
The audio and the money “to be pulled out”
Among the files that still exist, two emerge unreleased audio in which Sempio talks about legal expenses and an amount “between 70 and 80 thousand euros” to be paid, while the father confides his fear that “the investigation will remain open”. A constant family tension that today is once again intertwined with the confusion surrounding the lawyers and the investigations.
Next Monday, Sempio is expected to lift his reservations about his lawyer’s future. But around the Garlasco crimeeighteen years later, the questions continue to multiply.
