Investigations by the “Public Prosecutor’s Office” into the incident began on 2/3/2016 with the discovery of bystanders who dumped the victim’s body on the Cairo-Alexandria desert highway, the top of the Hazem Hassan tunnel, and The investigations continued for almost five consecutive years, during which the Prosecutor’s Office maintained in all circumstances from the disappearance of the victim to the appearance of his body, and revealed the details of the period that he spent in his life during his visit to the country, his residence in it, his multiple trips from it and his return to it after visiting several countries, including Italy, Turkey and Israel, and the investigations determined the knowledge of the victim by Egyptians and foreigners, and what that he undertook in the frame. Carrying out his scientific research in Egypt on the trade union and labor movement, and independent unions, especially the Street Vendors and Irregular Workers Union under the supervision of the “American University of Cairo”. Investigations also determined what happened to him in the last days before his disappearance, and the day he disappeared in detail until his body appeared.

The Public Ministry took steps to investigate the fact of the victim’s autopsy, indicating the cause of death, examining his clothes and the traces of the place where he was found, analyzing the operation of the victim’s phone chip and the slides that They were at the two sites of her disappearance, finding her body on the day of her disappearance and discovery, and examining monitoring machines in the field. In which he disappeared, the testimony of more than 120 witnesses was heard, and the Public Ministry requested, based on the results of these procedures, that the investigations be carried out by more than one security authority, which was one of the results of the victim’s contact in the context of carrying out his scientific research with various trade unionists. Free independent professions and some street vendors belonging to different political currents, and their presence in their meeting places and in their conversations with them criticized the behavior of some political currents in the country, the way they faced the political movement, and their claim that some of them feared the stability of the situation in Egypt, and investigations had proven. The victim spoke to street vendors about the regime in Egypt, assuring them that they had the power to change the situation there, similar to what happened in other countries.

Although the “Public Ministry of Egypt” received four similar requests from the “Prosecutor of the Republic in Rome”, it responded to many of the statements in it and did not respond to specific requests from them, such as the request for movement of stations from all stations. mobile phone service companies within the range of five subway stations for the period prior to the disappearance of the victim until several days after the appearance of his body, he asked for all the names of foreigners who were arrested or arrested in El Cairo the night of the victim’s disappearance, because some of these requests were not technically implemented and some of them violate the privacy of many Egyptian citizens and violate the basic rules for the protection of human rights according to international instruments and charters.

The Public Ministry will announce the results of these investigations in an independent statement.

The “Public Ministry” had initiated investigations into what was raised by the Italian investigating authority by four agents and a police officer from the “National Security Sector”, and ended up excluding everything attributed to them, and it was clear that all the suspicions presented by the Italian investigating authority came from erroneous conclusions. It is accepted by logic and does not comply with internationally established criminal legal norms and basic principles of law, which require the availability of reliable evidence with absolute certainty and certainty of the right of suspects to be criminally prosecuted, and without depending on suspicions that do not rise to the rank of evidence or even indirect clues, as the Italian investigating authority linked. Incorrect facts and evidence, which constituted an imbalance in the perception of the facts, an alteration in the understanding of the nature of the work of the police officers, their procedures and the nature of the investigation carried out on the behavior of the victim, in addition to that the Italian investigating authorities presented testimonies and withheld evidence to the Egyptian Public Ministry without presenting any official document. Confirm that you do not comply with all criminal evidence laws, and conduct impartial investigations in accordance with legal principles to reveal abstract facts.

The Egyptian prosecution refuted these suspicions and provided pleasant answers in detail, the most prominent of which was the conclusion by the Italian investigating authority that some suspects had been involved in the murder of the victim simply by investigating him after the report that was filed against him. questioning his suspicious behavior. The Egyptian Public Ministry »Therefore, the victim’s conduct contrary to the investigation he was carrying out was sufficient reason for the security services to exercise their work and their legal duty to follow him through administrative investigation procedures that do not restrict his freedom nor violate the sanctity of your private life, depending on the nature of your activity after it has been placed in the indictment. The investigations confirmed that despite this surprising behavior, the investigation concluded that their actions did not constitute crimes against public safety. Therefore, his investigation was stopped at this time and no legal action was taken against him.

From the compilation of the above, it was verified to the Egyptian Public Ministry that the behavior of the victim and her unknown movements were not hidden by any of the common people, but that they were made known to all, and the news of the communication presented against him, which was exploited by a stranger and decided to commit his crime before the victim, choosing 01/25/2016 for committing his crime there, knowing that the “Egyptian Security” was busy at that time to secure vital facilities, for which the victim was kidnapped, detained and physically tortured to accuse members of Egyptian security, and coinciding with the arrival of an economic delegation to visit the country, the victim was murdered and dumped his body in a vital place near the facilities. Important, some of whom follow the police authorities, as if he wanted to inform everyone about his murder and draw attention to it, which confirmed to the Prosecutor’s Office the presence of parties hostile to Egypt and Italy seeking to exploit the incident for the gap between them in light of the positive evolution in their relationships during the recent period, and some of the media known to raise the temptation to provoke that fact, which was concluded by the “Public Ministry” that the circumstances and circumstances of the fact of this way they have another picture that the investigations have not yet revealed in this regard, nor the identity of the perpetrator.
