The new genetic expertise on the Garlasco crime brings with it both doubts and contradictions: between compatible, but not certain, DNA traces, errors in the first investigations, unknown profiles and alleged anomalous contacts, the case remains suspended in a judicial limbo without definitive truth.
Whenever the case of Garlasco seems to be making progress towards truthreality reports it backwards. It happened with the conviction of Alberto Stasis for thehomocide of his girlfriend Clear Poggiput in doubt with the subsequent involvement of Andrew Example in investigations. Then it was the turn of the track of Sanctuary from the Cocoon and the memorial of Flavius Savuwhich turned out to be an alley blind. And finally with the new one expertise genetics signed by Denise Albani: a document highly anticipated by investigators and defense for months, filed on December 3 2025 at the Power of attorney Of Paviawhich should have definitively clarified, rather than opening new paths.
The expertise that does not clarify
The Male DNA found under the girl’s nails killed the August 13, 2007 in his house, it is compatible with the paternal line of Example. Not a certainty, as the investigators hoped, but just one compatibility which, evaluated «moderately strong» for the finding extrapolated from one finger of the victim and only «moderate» for another genetic residue, cannot provide an unshakable scientific certainty.
Furthermore, the analysis covered the Y haplotypethat is, the chromosome that is transmitted paternally, which by its nature cannot identify a single specific subjectbut only a male family line. This means that the DNA could belong to Example or to any other male of his paternal family.
If these elements already make it difficult to disprove the innocence of Examplethe most critical point of the report concerns the impossibility of rebuild the dynamics: Albani clarified that it is impossible «to establish with scientific rigor questions such as “as”, “When” And “Why“a certain biological material has been deposited”, nor whether those genetic traces have been present “under or above the girl’s nails. Much less claim that those fragments arrived in the hands of Clear For direct contact or «for contaminationby direct or mediated adventitious transfer”, i.e randomof some object present in the house. Simply put, you absolutely can’t say That Clear defended herself from the attacker who was the owner of those biological traces, which undermines what the November indiscretion had reported as sensational, namely that the DNA of Example it was under your fingernails.
Mistakes that weigh and “Ignoto 2”
Added to these critical issues are: egregious errors during the first investigations, with the mixture of all the findings of the nails of the right hand in aunique test tubemaking it impossible to tell them apart at the time. The same was done with those of the left hand, moreover, getting lost the little finger nail. It is understandable why the results of the expertise Albani they do not allow us to «reach a result that was certain reliable and consolidated” as regards Andrew Example.
Furthermore, there is another male profile, “Unknown 2”, which excludes “all subjects of interest”, from Example to Stasis to friends of Marco Poggibrother of the victim, who then frequented the house of Garlasco. And considering that the biological material analyzed is now worn outit is impossible to perform further analysis.
As regards the other findings analyzed, the geneticist Albani he isolated traces of Clear And Alberto and others of little significance: on straw of Estathé found in the garbage together with the remains oflast breakfast of the girl, a male genetic profile emerged with «extreme hypotheses strong» let it be Alberto Stasiwhile no fingerprints or any trace of DNA of Andrea Sempio emerged from sixty withdrawals preserved from the time of the crime.
The non-turning point of footprint 33 and the photos
Excluding the DNA report, the famous “footprint 33” found on the wall of the stairs leading to the cellar of the house Garlasconear the point where the body of was found Clearwhich doesn’t enter theevidentiary incident: membership in Example it is too uncertain and the presence of traces of blood has been excluded.
As for the photo of the day of the crimeextras suddenly eighteen years later, simply they confirm the presence of Example outside the house of Poggi together with onlookers and family members, including the twins Hood. Exactly as the current suspect had stated in verbal of the time. That there was «crowd“, as declared by the then nineteen year old, or “two, three people, absolutely Nobody», as testified by the author of the shots, is not such an element relevant to make the fates of Example betweeninnocence and the guilt: the only certain data are the times of his passage in away Pastures together with carabinieri and other people, following the murder.
The real suspicious elements
Three remain phone calls suspicious of Example At home Poggi on August 7th and 8th, a few days before of the murder, when he was present alone in the house Clear and not the brother: they are considered anomalous because Marco Poggifriend of Examplewas in Trentino and unattainable on his cell phone, making it unlikely that the boy was unaware of it. Other telephone contacts deemed even more so anomalous they are those of 2017during the first investigation on Example: some with the Power of attorneyothers with the former policeman Silvio Soap who at the time managed the wiretaps. The reasons are unknown and interested parties forgetful they don’t remember them.
Other elements against Example I’m it receipt of the parking lot They lived which turned out to be one photocopy and which does not contain any data attributable to the suspect to confirm hisalibiand the hypothesis of corruption of the former chief prosecutor Maximum Sold you on the part of Joseph Examplethe father of Andrew: tickets or “pizzini” seized show numbers and acronyms still under investigation, but among all that «Venditti GIP archive x 20/30 euros” which, according to Angela Shut updefense lawyer, «was referring to the revenue stamps for the copies of the sudden dismissal request». It is in itself singular that the father of a suspect puts down on paper words that could turn against his son, yet those sheets of paper intertwine the case Garlasco with the System Pavia and the corruption in the management of the Prosecutor’s Office, but without yet reaching a certain result. If not that of refund of smartphones and computers a Sold you.
The results of the expertise Albanialong with some of these elements, will be discussed inhearing set for December 18th 2025 before the judge Garlaschelliwhen the reports of the parties’ consultants will also be filed. At that time it will be decided whether the investigations will take the path of the request indictment For Example and, consequently, whether we will arrive at an instance of revision of the conviction by the defense of Stasis. But the feeling is that the truth on the death of Chiara Poggi will remain suspended between realityhypotheses and alleys blind.
