Pavia, 01 Oct. (LaPresse) – “To still maintain today that that activity was carried out without the knowledge of Alberto Stasi’s defense seems to me to be contradicted by the facts.” Gian Luigi Tizzoni, lawyer for Chiara Poggi’s family, said this outside the Pavia courthouse regarding the analyses carried out by the Parma RIS on September 20, 2007, on the pedals of Alberto Stasi’s bicycle, who was definitively convicted of the girl’s murder. The lawyer recalled that Stasi’s defense participated in the investigations, decided on September 17, 2007, not to continue, and then raised a plea of nullity for the failure to notify, which was rejected by prosecutor Rosa Muscio and never reiterated. “Professor Avato’s written statement refers to analyses carried out in his absence on the 20th. Logic dictates that it is necessarily the presumed negative analysis”, he explained. Tizzoni ruled out that the data was hidden. “I doubt that a public official had any reason to hide this data, which was also available to him. If he had wanted to hide it, very peacefully today we would never have found him again. The data was there and has always been there”, he added. “Were they requested by the defense? No, as far as I know, except in recent years. If the Stasi defense wanted to have the raw data, they had to ask for it. I asked for the bicycle, Judge Vitelli said no, I asked for it at the Milan Court of Assizes of Appeal, they said no. Then the Supreme Court understood the procedural process and ruled in my favor”, he emphasized. For the lawyer, going back to 2007 today complaining of a violation of the right to defense is a stretch that contradicts the procedural data.
Garlasco, Poggi’s lawyer: “Given the pedal DNA, he wasn’t hidden in Stasi’s defense.”
