Romanianโฃ Extortionist, Linked to Chiara Poggi Case, Arrested inโ Switzerland
Zurich, Switzerland – Flavius โโSavu,โข a โขRomanian national previously convicted of extortingโค aโฃ former rector โฃof the Sanctuaryโ of theโ Bozzola โin Garlasco, has been arrested โnearโ Zurich,โ Swiss authorities confirmedโ wednesday. Savu’s arrest comes as Italian โคinvestigatorsโฃ re-examine potential connections between alleged events โขat the sanctuary and theโ 2007 murder โขof Chiara Poggi.
Savu recentlyโ resurfaced in โคthe inquiry, offering information suggesting a linkโ between gatherings held at the Sanctuary of the Bozzola and โPoggi’s death on August 13, 2007. Whileโข prosecutors have previously characterizedโค this connection โฃas “suggestive,” the Pavia โคProsecutor’s Office may now revisit Savu’s statements as part of the ongoing investigation, which currently includes Andrea Semplio as a โperson โof interest. The โขreopening of the case andโค Savu’s claims โฃadd a new layer of complexity to the long-running โค”Giallo di Garlasco” โฃ- the term used in italy for high-profile, unsolved criminal cases.
Separately, forensic experts are โฃresuming work in โMilan on evidence recovered โfrom the Poggi residence. The renewed analysis focuses on latent โfootprints found โคon โฃgarbage collected the morning of the murder. This investigation was prompted โขby the recent discovery of DNA belonging to both Poggiโข and her former boyfriend, Alberto โStasiโ – who was previously โconvicted in the case – on the same waste materials. The findings could provide crucial new โฃinsights โinto theโ events โขsurrounding Poggi’s death.
