Alberto Stasi, a 41-year-old man
nearing the end of a 16-year sentence handed down in 2015 for
murdering his 26-year-old girlfriend and economics graduate
Chiara Poggi at Garlasco near Pavia in 2007, was granted partial
day release on Friday.
The former economic student and now book keeper will be able to
stay out of prison part of the day, not only to work but also
for social reintegration activities, and will have to return to
Bollate Prison in the evening.
At the time of the murder Stasi was 24 and an economics student
at Milan's prestigious Bocconi University.
The DNA of Andrea Sempio, a new suspect in the murder, has been
found on Poggi's fingernails, experts said last week in their
study that led
to the reopening of the case last month.
Sempio, 37, is a friend of Poggi's brother Marco.
Stasi said on March 12 that he has confidence that justice will
be served and the truth will come out.
