The investigating judge of Venice has asked to investigate Letizia Ruggeri, the prosecutor of Bergamo who managed to solve the case of the murder of Yara Gambirasio, for which Massimo Bossetti was definitively sentenced to life imprisonment. The magistrate’s request for registration in the register of suspects is based on a misdirection hypothesis, regarding the alleged incorrect conservation of the 54 DNA samples found on the body of the 13-year-old from Brembate di Sopra and which the defense has been asking to be able to analyze for some time . He brings it back Adnkronos.
The request of the magistrate
The decision of the investigating judge Alberto Scaramuzza comes following a a denunciation-complaint and a deed of opposition by Bossetti’s lawyers“largely directed towards the conduct of the prosecutor Letizia Ruggeri” writes the judge who deems necessary “a subjective extension of the registration against her” in relation to the crime of fraud in criminal trial and red herring (article 375 of the code penal), punished with imprisonment from 3 to 8 years, for those who “artificially change the corpus delicti or the state of the places, things or people connected to the crime” (paragraph 1).
In the same device, the investigating judge of Venice archives the position of the president of the first criminal section of the Bergamo court, Giovanni Petillo, and of the official in charge of the criminal offenses office, Laura Epis, both initially under investigation.
Defense opposition
In the almost 70 pages of the deed of opposition to the dismissal, the legal defender of Bossetti, Claudio Salvagni, disputes the transfer of the 54 test tubes containing the convict’s and the victim’s DNA from the refrigerator of the San Raffaele hospital in Milan to the bodies office of crime of the court of Bergamo.
According to the lawyer, the move would have broken the cold chain and for this reason it may have deteriorated the DNA, making any attempt at new analyzes useless.
The story
The defense reconstructed the story starting from 26 November 2019 when, after the ruling of the Cassation, lawyers obtain authorization to access DNA samples. According to what was written by the lawyer, however, the test tubes had been moved at the request of the prosecutor Ruggeri on 21 November and delivered by professor Giorgio Casari to the carabinieri of Bergamo, to reach the court on 2 December 2019, “12 days after” leaving the San Raphael.
