Alberto Stasi

Alberto Stasi, convicted of the murder of Chiara Poggi, has gone on the attack, calling for full clarity on the evidence produced by the Carabinieri RIS. The challenge focuses on the work of former RIS commander Luciano Garofano, whose forensic findings have come under renewed scrutiny, reopening debate over the reliability of the case against Stasi.

Prosecutors in Italy have formally closed the investigation into Filippo Sempio over the killing of Chiara Poggi, with a decision on whether he will stand trial expected next. Lawyers for Alberto Stasi, the man already convicted of the murder, said the military intelligence service, the Ris, must 'assume its responsibilities' after new evidence emerged. The development reopens debate over one of Italy's most followed judicial sagas.
