The Egyptian investigation authorities gave their Italian counterparts the first set of documents requested by the Rome prosecutor on the murder of Italian student Giulio Regini. The two sides expressed their determination to continue cooperation until “those responsible for the kidnapping, torture and murder of Regini are identified”, according to the statement. Egypt-Italy relations have deteriorated since Regeni’s murder. Egypt has pledged to bring Regeni’s killers to justice, and Egyptian and Italian investigators have held regular meetings in Rome. Italian officials have stated that they have received all the requested evidence – such as phone records – but more than a year after, Regeni’s murder remains unsolved.
