Giulio Regeni’s murder sparked protests in Italy
Italy condemned Egypt’s decision to refuse to charge four security officers in the case of the torture and murder of Italian student Giulio Regeni in Cairo in 2016.
The statement by the Italian Foreign Ministry today, Thursday, described the decision of the Egyptian Public Prosecutor’s Office as “unacceptable”, and the statement promised to raise Regeni’s case at various levels, including the European Union.
Earlier this year, Italian prosecutors had named four suspects believed to be involved in the murder of Giulio Regeni.
But the Egyptian prosecutor’s office said on Wednesday, about three weeks after the Italian prosecutor’s decision, that there is insufficient evidence against the aforementioned security personnel.
The Egyptian Prosecutor’s Office said in its statement on this case: “It does not make sense to initiate a criminal case in the incident of the murder, detention and torture of Giulio Regeni temporarily due to the ignorance of the perpetrator, and the task of the investigating authorities to follow up on the investigation to determine it. “
The Egyptian authorities had announced in early December that they would “temporarily close” the investigation file in the case in light of the “unknown” perpetrator of the killing.
The Egyptian authorities deny any involvement in the kidnapping or murder of Regeni.
Cairo has offered other explanations for what happened to Regeni, including that he was the victim of robbery at the hands of a criminal gang, or that he was the victim of homosexual assault, but Rome rejects these explanations.
Regeni was a Cambridge University researcher studying independent trade unions in Egypt, a subject sensitive to the Egyptian government.
His death sparked a diplomatic dispute between Cairo and Rome. The Italian prosecutor accuses Egyptian officials of trying to mislead justice.

Regeni’s mutilated body was found in a ditch on a highway near the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
On December 1, Italian prosecutors formally indicted four members of Egyptian security personnel in the case of Regeni’s murder.
The Italian prosecutor named the defendants as follows: Major General Tariq Saber, Colonel Aser Kamal, Major Magdy Sharif and Colonel Hisham Helmy.
But the Egyptian prosecutor, Hamada El-Sawy, said on Wednesday that he had “ruled out” indicting the four aforementioned agents, as well as a fifth person.
Al-Sawy also said there is no reason to initiate a criminal case for “not knowing the perpetrator.”
The Italian Foreign Ministry said it will continue its efforts at all levels “until the truth is revealed in the brutal murder of Giulio Regeni.”

Regeni’s parents campaign for justice for their son’s murder
The doctoral researcher disappeared during a research trip on January 25, 2016. This coincided with the fifth anniversary of the Egyptian revolution that overthrew the late Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, in the face of the heavy security presence of police officers in Cairo.
Regeni’s body was found on February 3 in a ditch on the side of a highway. Regeni’s mother told the Italian parliament in 2018 that her son’s body had been so mutilated that she only recognized him from the tip of his nose.

The results of Regeni’s autopsy in Italy concluded that the victim was subjected to torture in stages between January 25 and the day of his death.
The bruises indicated that he had been kicked, beaten and beaten with sticks and batons. The cause of death was a broken neck, according to the Italian claim.
Egypt denies Regeni’s death in police custody, although officials admit that security services were monitoring his movements.
