Mattia Capra breaks the silence, while unpublished photos confirm the presence of Marco Poggi away from the crime scene. Between suspicions and mysteries, Chiara Poggi’s crime continues to make people discuss
New developments in the Garlasco case. After months of reopened investigations, with crossed searches and interrogations, it is Mattia Capra – friend of Andrea Semplio and Marco Poggi – to break the silence. Interviewed by Fourth degreeCapra wanted to distance himself from what some media had called a “team of silence”, a cohesive group of friends who would have shared secrets related to the crime.
“I wanted to distance themselves from the concept of ‘you made a common front’ – he said – because it seems that we have to cover ourselves with each other. I don’t like it that we talk as if we were a Blob. There were occasions when one was there and the other was not. Andrea was not interested in Chiara ยป.
Friends, searches and the Poggi house
Capra, never officially involved in the investigation, was the subject of a search together with the other common friend Roberto Freddi. The three – goat, cold and always – attended the Poggi house at the time of the crime, which took place on 13 August 2007, for which Alberto Stasi was definitively sentenced to 16 years. The new investigation, however, sees Andrea Semplio formally investigated, after the discovery of new elements deemed worthy of deepening by the Pavia prosecutor.
Over the course of these months, the carabinieri of the Milan investigative nucleus, by the delegation of the Magistrates Pavesi, led targeted searches not only at the home of Semplio but also in the homes of friends and acquaintances closer to the boy. A clear attempt: reconstruct that network of relationships and presences that revolved around via Pascoli on the days of the crime.
Marco Poggi’s photos: the mountain holiday is confirmed
During the same episode of the Rete4 program, the editorial staff showed exclusively some photographs of Marco Poggi, brother of the victim, taken on the day of the murder. The unpublished images portray him on vacation in the mountains with his parents, denying the recent insinuations according to which he was not really far from Garlasco on August 13, 2007.
A clear media response to one of the many shadows that hovering on the Poggi family in recent weeks, with doubts and suspicions relaunched by social networks and some parallel reconstructions.
The mystery of the tools: what does Tromello’s Roggia hide?
Meanwhile, on the investigative front, the objects seized in May in Tromello remain central: a fireplace caliper, the head of a briber, a handle of ax and the blade of an ax, recovered by an Egyptian carpenter. The man admitted that he had collected them in 2018 from a canal, precisely at the area indicated by a supertestimone.
The blow had brought back the exact point to the area where, according to some statements, Stefania Cappa – Cousin of Chiara – would have thrown a heavy object on the morning of the crime. To confirm the interest in that Roggia is the fact that, on May 14, the carabinieri and firefighters had started research with special means near the girl’s grandmother’s home, where his brother Cesare also lived at the time, at the time of the crime in Croatia.
Doubts and questions still open
The investigators are trying to understand if the weapon of the crime can be hidden among those tools, even if the long permanence of outdoor objects makes a decisive report almost impossible. The carpenter explained that he has kept them for years because “pieces of iron can always serve”, but now their origin and compatibility with the crime become a crucial element.
But it is clear that something, in official reconstruction, does not come back. Capra’s testimony on television seems to mark the beginning of a new crack in the wall built around the Poggi case. A crack that, after almost twenty years, continues to widen.
