The Attorney General of Milan has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court to request the revocation of the provision with which in recent weeks the Surveillance Court granted semi-liberty to Alberto Stasi , Chiara Poggi's then-boyfriend who is finishing serving 16 years in prison for the Garlasco crime, a case recently reopened by the Pavia Attorney General's Office.

The reason for the appeal would be linked to the failure to request authorization to give an interview to the program Le Iene during a permit for family reunification. The case, for the attorney general, should have been evaluated differently by the judges.

On April 11, Stasi, after having already obtained "external work" in 2023, that is, the possibility of leaving prison every day to work as an accountant in a Milanese company, had also been "admitted" to the "semi-liberty regime". Therefore, since April 28, when the Surveillance measure became effective, Stasi can leave prison in the morning, at a precise time indicated in the prescriptions, and must return in the evening, after dinner in essence and always at a set time, therefore being able to stay out for more than twelve hours in total and not only to work .

The Attorney General's Office, headed by Francesca Nanni, with the deputy attorney general Valeria Marino, had already requested, in the hearing on April 9, the rejection of the request for semi-liberty, highlighting a single 'flaw' in its behavior, that is, the failure to request authorization from the Surveillance magistrate for that interview , during a day release.

In the ruling, the judges cited the prison team's all-positive reports and explained that the 41-year-old, a former Bocconi student who has been in prison for ten years after the final sentence in 2015, even though he has always proclaimed his innocence, has "behaved in line with accepting the sentence". And "he has always shown empathy and suffering towards" the victim .

For the Attorney General, however, the failure to request authorization for that interview is a behavior that the judges should have evaluated differently and not in line with the granting of semi-liberty. Now the Court of Cassation will have to set a hearing and decide. Soon, among other things, Stasi will also be able to request probation to social services, an alternative measure to detention.
