Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shokri stated Wednesday that the government is still searching for answers to the death and apparent torture of Italian research student Giulio Regeni, before referring the involved persons to trial. During the Canadian Businessmen Council’s symposium titled by “Egypt’s foreign policy: gains and challenges”, Shokri added that the Italian and Egyptian Ministries of Justice are cooperating to solve the case. He asserted that Egypt is handling the case with transparency, and is insistent on revealing the facts. His mutilated body, bearing signs of torture, was discovered on a desert roadside, on February 6 2016. Initially, Egyptian police officials suggested Regeni died in a road accident.
