The first mockery about the atrocious end of Giulio Regeni, mysterious at the time, much less today, is consummated on the day that he was reported missing. To the Dokki Police Station, Western District of Cairo, on Wednesday January 27, 2016 the embassy officer Davide Boncivini, with Noura Medhit Whaby, Giulio’s friend, and his roommate Mohamed Al Sayyadf. They said the young university researcher had been missing since Monday night, but that same Monday Giulio had been right there at the Dokki police station.
Today we know it thanks to the testimony of the witness Delta (code name to protect his safety), which Rome’s deputy prosecutor Sergio Colaiocco reads to the parliamentary commission of inquiry into Regeni’s kidnapping and death: “On January 25, while I was at the Dokki police station, I could have been At 20 or at most 21 a person would arrive … He must have been between 27 and 28 years old, short beard, sweater, probably between blue and gray, if I remember correctly with a shirt underneath … He expressed himself in Italian and asked a lawyer … I’m sure it was Giulio Regeni. In the photos I saw on the internet, he had the longest beard. ”
“I was asking for a lawyer”
The witness’s account, tracked down by the Regeni family lawyers coordinated by the lawyer Alessandra Ballerini, continues with the useless invocations of Giulio: “As he walked down the corridor, he asked to speak with a lawyer or with the Consulate. At that juncture I saw the Italian boy well, who arrived with four people in civilian clothes. One of them had a phone in his hand. Then they took the prisoner: “They put him in a Shine model car, blindfolded him and took him to a place called Lazoughly. One of the policemen was called Sharif … another was called Mohamed, but I don’t know if that is his real name. Those who advocated for the young man’s cause were silenced: “While Regeni was asking for a lawyer, another detainee, who tried to help him, received an elbow in the face from a policeman who said that the Italian boy also spoke Arabic.”
Probably on January 27 Giulio was already at the other station of his Way of the cross, the National Security headquarters at the Home Office, Lazoughly, where witness Epsilon saw him on January 28 or 29: “I worked 15 years in the office where Regeni died. It is a structure in a village that dates back to the time of Nasser, later exploited by investigative bodies. There are four floors and the floor of interest is the first, the room is number 13. When any foreigner suspected of conspiring against national security is caught, he is taken there. ”
Room number 13
It is the torture room: «I saw Regeni in office 13 and there were also two officers and other officers, I only knew the two officers. Upon entering the office I noticed some iron chains with which they tied people … He was half naked on the top, he wore signs of torture and stammered words in his language, he was delirious … He was a thin boy, very thin … He was lying on the ground, his face turned upside down … I saw him handcuffed with handcuffs that forced him to fall to the ground … I noticed signs of redness behind his back, but four years have passed, I don’t remember the details. I didn’t recognize him right away, but five or six days later, when I saw the photos in the newspapers, I joined in and realized it was him. “
After reading the minutes, there was silence in the committee room. Here ends the report of the prosecutor Colaiocco and the prosecutor Michele Prestipino on the results of the investigation. The Prosecutor’s Office is willing to request the trial for the kidnapping of Giulio Regeni For him General Tariq Sabir, Colonel Athar Kamel Mohamed Ibrahim, Colonel Uhsam Helmi and Major Magdi Ibrahim Abdelal Sharif (The latter also accused of murder and torture with hot objects, kicks, punches, knives and sticks ”). All untraceable, protected by the Egyptian refusal to communicate addresses. For agent Mahmoud Najem, the presentation was requested, with a document that summarizes the entire investigation in detail.
In addition to the indications of telephone contacts and relations with the trade unionist Moahamed Abdallah who reported Giulio to National Security, Major Sharif words of witness Gamma. Who said he had seen and heard him confess to a Kenyan police colleague that he had arrested and beaten Regeni: “He started talking about an Italian student, a graduate student, who was trying to shake a small group of people to start a revolution … He claimed that this Italian could be a member of the CIA, he also quoted the Mossad. He went on to say that they had learned that he belonged to the Antipod Foundation, that he was promoting a revolution in Egypt. At some point they had already had enough.
According to Gamma’s testimony, Sharif (identified by handing over a business card to the Kenyan, who spoke his name aloud) organized wiretapping and stalking Giulio, and one night, before reaching a restaurant in Tahir Square, they stopped him. They, the Egyptians, were very angry and the Arab, using the first person singular, claimed to have hit him. To the Kenyan who asked the name of the subject he was talking about, the Egyptian replied: Giulio Regeni.
Continuous forwarding
The other tragic insult is that even the two Egyptians who went to report Giulio’s disappearance, her friend Nouri and her roommate El Sayyad contributed to the “network of controls” woven by National Security around the investigator, through contacts -mediated or direct- with Major Sharif and Colonel Helmy. All this was reconstructed by the Rome Prosecutor, with the Carabinieri del Ros and the OCS policemen, thanks to the few elements transmitted from Cairo after the ambassador’s dismissal in April 2016. For the rest, the relationship with Egypt it was “difficult, laborious, complex,” says Prestipino. But beyond the diplomatic and even euphemistic tones of the prosecutor, The questions sent by letters rogatory remain unanswered: 39 out of 64.
A completely different determination, however, in the deviations put in place after the discovery of the body, on February 3, 2016: from sexual motive to the hypothesis of a traffic accident, from a dispute in the square to the theft of documents perpetrated by a gang of five punctually exterminated criminals, recently exhumed. Along with the continuous suspicions about Giulio’s activity, he advanced along with the excuses thrown to deny information. To the point of provoking the grievances of former prosecutor Giuseppe Pignatone, and inducing the prosecutor Colaiocco, in November 2018, to interrupt the meeting with his colleagues in Cairo “refusing to question again the correctness of Regeni’s behavior in Egypt.”
