Garlasco murder: Sempio, the DNA issue was a heavy burden on my shoulders

Turin, 12 December (LaPresse) – Were you surprised by the conclusions of Dr Albani’s report? ‘Surprised, no, because essentially it confirmed what my consultants had been telling me for months. However, I am very happy that it has finally arrived because this DNA issue has been a huge weight on my shoulders for all these months.’ Andrea Sempio said this in an interview that will be broadcast during the episode of “Quarto Grado”, hosted by Gianluigi Nuzzi with Alessandra Viero, airing tonight on Retequattro. “However, I see a lot of interpretations that are a bit far-fetched, as if someone wanted to see evil in us at all costs. To me, it seemed like a very clear report that cleared up a lot of points,‘ he explained. ’So I’m glad it’s finally here. The only thing I can say is that we’re talking about the paternal line, and everyone associates that with the idea of father, grandfather, brothers, but in reality it would be the patrilineal line, which actually goes back to when that Y, that family line, originated in Italy.” . ‘So in reality, even if that were the case, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is a direct relative of mine today. It may also be that 500 years ago, when the family line that is now carried by the Sempio family was created, there were other people in Italy who shared this trait and who are not related to me today,’ he added. How could your DNA or that of your family’s paternal line have ended up on Chiara’s fingernails? “Well, there are definitely rooms where I spent more time, which are the ones I’ve already mentioned several times. They were mainly related to video games, so the room downstairs and Chiara’s bedroom. So those were the rooms where I spent most of my time and where I imagine there was the greatest likelihood of contamination. Then, in reality, there are also many other points that we have reconstructed during these meetings. When the time comes, we will talk about it, my advisers will talk about it,” he said.
