Chiara Poggi's parents: Justice has found Stasi guilty, if he changes we will take note.

Milan – A long, unfiltered interview with Rita and Giuseppe Poggi, Chiara's parents, on Verissimo, the show hosted by Silvia Toffanin. "The justice system has given us a culprit; for us, it's Stasi. If this new investigation, the prosecutor's office, gives us a new culprit, we'll take note," Chiara Poggi's parents said this afternoon on Canale 5.

"It's not the right time to meet," they said, responding to the question of whether it was true that they didn't want to meet Alberto Stasi's mother, Elisabetta. And if I ran into Alberto on the street, "I don't know if I'd be happy. I don't think so," added Giuseppe Poggi. "I can't predict the future." He, they explained, never contacted them. "At first, we believed him, but as the investigation progressed," they added, and "when he went to prison," said Chiara's mother, "we broke off contact for convenience."

"The compensation? We're ready to return it if the justice system so orders. We will return it," Giuseppe Poggi replied. "It's still in a bank account we share with our son."

Speaking about the recent investigations and the publicized wiretaps, Chiara Poggi's parents said they felt "humiliated." "It happened nineteen years ago, but maybe now that they're wiretapping us, it seemed unfair to me. Some say the prosecutor's office can do it, but then it's not so much the wiretaps themselves" as the fact that "they're broadcasting them."

"At home with my wife and son, I talk and say what I want. It's not like I go on TV or in the newspapers to report a fact that Italians read and hear." Instead, they broadcast wiretaps that took place between us and our son. He lives far away, we talk in the evenings, but I can't just ask him every evening what you had for lunch, what time you got up this morning, what you did last night," Rita explained. "Especially in this period, sometimes we also talk about what happened to you, it's normal." And so "it bothered us" that "they're broadcast on TV and reported in the newspapers. But to what end? I ask myself, to what end?" "We felt humiliated," she added.

 

Regarding Sempio, the Poggis didn't shy away from questions: "I know that what I say will be taken up by someone in the next few days. I've never seen Sempio at my house, even though my son told me he came two or three times a week, but I left in the morning at 7 and returned at 6:30 in the evening, and I never saw him at my house," said Giuseppe. His mother, Rita, said that she did see him. "Yes. I saw him, but not him, because he came home around 6:30 in the evening, I came back around 5, so I sometimes saw him. Of course, especially that summer, they had finished studying, they had taken exams, so perhaps they were more relaxed and would come, but nothing, he was a normal boy. Then in the evening they would go out."
