During the meeting, Egyptian prosecutors handed Italy transcripts of phone records from Regeni’s phone before his disappearance and other information gathered through their investigations. This latest information comes after Egyptian authorities had denied repeatedly that they were involved in Regeni’s death. The Interior Ministry impugned in several statements after Regeni’s death the involvement of security officials in the incident. The prosecutors’ statement also countered the Interior Ministry’s narrative regarding the killing of five Egyptians in Al-Salam city for being involved in Regeni’s death. Egyptian prosecutors denied this claim and said there are “weak links” between the death of the five men and the death of Regeni, the statement read.
