ROME – Giulio Regeni’s life was shattered after days of endless torture and torment inflicted in a room of terror. Number “13”, on the first floor of a villa from the 50s in the center of Cairo. An “Olympus garage” where foreign citizens suspected of “subversive activities” are “treated” and which has its entrance in via Lazoughly, on the right bank of the Nile, within the compound where the Ministry of the Interior of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Two kilometers in a straight line from our embassy, which, for nine days, from January 25 to February 3, 2016, the Egyptian authorities had repeated to ignore who and where that young investigator was, a Friulian from Fiumicello, who arrived at the country in September 2015 for his doctoral research at the University of Cambridge.
Regeni, the prosecutor of Rome closes the investigation: four 007 Egyptians towards the trial
Those responsible for the kidnapping, torture and murder of Giulio are four agents of the National Security Agency: Sabir Tariq, born in 1963, general of the Department of National Security; Ibrhaim Kamel Athar, born 1968, Colonel, Inspection Director of the Wadi-Al-Jadid Security Directorate; Helmy Uhsam, born 1968, colonel, formerly in the Directorate of National Security; Sharif Abdelal Maghdi, born 1984, specialty in the National Security Service. The Rome prosecutor seeks sentencing with a 94-page indictment signed by the attorney general Michele Prestipino and by the deputy Sergio Colaiocco. It is a document that closes five years of investigations and lifts the veil not only on the material responsibilities of Regeni’s murder but also on the policies of the Egyptian judiciary and institutions that, in these five years, have consciously and obstinately obstructed the search for the truth. manipulate and hide sources of evidence, construct alternative hypotheses for the sole purpose of misleading. An unprecedented accusation in the judicial history of our country, which leaves the Arab Republic of Egypt in default.
Regeni, Prestipino: “Significant evidence acquired, all done in memory of Giulio”
Five key testimonies collected in these five years by the Prosecutor of Rome, indicated by the magistrates with so many letters of the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon. Among them, two decisive. That of a former agent who saw Giulio blindfolded at the Dokki police station shortly after his abduction by National Security agents on the night of January 25. And that of a former NSA agent who, between January 28 and 29, after the kidnapping, saw Giulio tortured in Lazoughly’s “room number 13”.
His interrogation report says: “It was 28 or 29 (January, ed), I saw Regeni in that 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, with his face back … I saw him handcuffed with handcuffs that forced him to fall to the ground … I noticed signs of redness on my back, but four years have passed, I do not remember well 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. “
