"When I went… the blood was there." This is what Andrea Sempio said in a wiretap on May 12, 2025, regarding what he did and where he was on the morning of August 13, 2017, the day of Chiara Poggi's murder in Garlasco. In his soliloquy, Sempio states: "When I went… (compatible with "when I left") the blood was there… and then he was duly unaware, that is, he (Stasi) didn't realize it but… without realizing it, he avoided the stains… and then… completely unaware." And again: "They told him 'bullshit… it was summer but it was dry'… well, that's fair enough… and from there they're exploiting the idea that the blood was dry."

In another wiretap, again dated April 14, 2025, Sempio allegedly made no secret of his disappointment at Poggi's reaction to a phone call he made in August 2007. The girl allegedly refused to speak to him, hanging up. "He himself commented, 'I mean, she was a real bitch... hang up,'" investigators write in the over 300-page document.

According to investigators, on the morning of the crime, Sempio went out on foot and was not at home with his father: "Considering what Giuseppe Sempio wrote in his notes to be reliable and truthful, it is possible to argue that his son Andrea left home on foot on the morning of August 13, 2007, and therefore the version according to which he remained at home with his father until his wife Daniela returned is in reality only a story concocted subsequently ." "A story concocted," the investigators continue, "to shield the son from any objections, which would in fact have made him a person without a valid alibi, in a time frame compatible with that of the commission of the brutal crime against Chiara."

The Carabinieri are analyzing the "evidence" that proves Alberto Stasi cannot be the perpetrator of Chiara Poggi's murder. "It is frankly difficult to logically follow the thread of a suggestion created during the trial and exploited by the media for 18 years. All the elements, or alleged elements, of this story are contradictory." Dismantling the elements of the Stasi investigation and trial point by point, the investigators, for example, write that there was a "belief that Stasi, with the more or less conscious complicity of others, including investigators, knowingly hid the black bicycle he rode to Via Pascoli." Even "assuming that such a cold and calculating killer had committed a superficial act worthy of a comic book character, namely, not permanently disposing of that bicycle," there were "elements that are frankly incomprehensible." Furthermore, the Carabinieri maintain that there was "only one completely reliable witness," the woman who described the bike "with extreme precision," as completely "different" from the one subsequently seized in 2014. Furthermore, the Carabinieri also maintain that "it is impossible to explain an act more illogical and inconsistent than the pedal swap." Why, the officers ask, did the "cold and calculating Stasi" "not completely dispose of the Holland bicycle?" A question "to which it is not possible to provide a logical answer." Namely, they did not dispose of the bike, but rather spent "time disassembling the pedals and reassembling them on the bicycle that will be handed over to investigators." In the report, on the other hand, the Carabinieri—in addition to listing all the contents of the diaries and notebooks seized from Sempio, in which he also recorded his "dreams" to create a personality profile linked to the motive, and his web searches for DNA information on "Chiara Poggi's nails," which had increased from 2014 onward—report the entire new reconstruction of the crime and the crime scene, which has already emerged in recent days. They also report the fact that the then 19-year-old, after killing the student, walked to his grandmother's house.

One of the pieces of evidence is the famous receipt from August 13, 2007, in a parking lot in Vigevano: "Because you issued the receipt anyway!" Giuseppe Sempio, Andrea's father, told his wife Daniela Ferrari in a wiretap on October 22. That document, according to Andrea Sempio, is proof that on the morning of August 13, 2007, he was not in Garlasco but in Vigevano.

According to what investigators state in the document, the husband and wife discuss the news of a hypothetical superwitness who would have clarified the nature of the infamous receipt to investigators . "And it is precisely while speaking," the Carabinieri note, "of the unreliability of this superwitness that Giuseppe Sempio tells his wife something that could finally dispel any remaining doubts about the receipt's provenance." "The woman states: 'Now there's a family member who says that the receipt wasn't issued by Andrea or his family members,'" to which the husband replies: "How does he get it? Did he give it to her? (laughs), I don't know! Who gave it to her? I mean, the question we should ask him is that... well... exaggerating things that are bullshit anyway because you issued the receipt!"
