ROME From Professor Maha Mahfouz Abdelrahman, Giulio Regeni’s professor at Cambridge University who followed his work in Egypt, the magistrates of the Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office denounce “The unwillingness to contribute to the investigation related to the seizure, the torture and murder of one of his students; what are the reasons for such an anomalous behavior that until now it has not been possible to determine. “So wrote the prosecutor Sergio Colaiocco in the final act of the investigation that also reached the United Kingdom. However, from the professor’s computer, acquired from Through the British judicial authority, an email appeared sent to a Canadian colleague on February 7, 2016, four days after the discovery of Giulio’s body, in which she wrote: “I sent a young investigator to his death … Showing people how to do an investigation is something I think I don’t feel like I have to do anymore.”. A few words “revealing – according to the prosecutor – not only the teacher’s remorse for the fate of her researcher, but also the lightness that had characterized her management of graduate Regeni, especially in the field dispatch phase.”
Giulio’s computer
Giulio’s computer made available by his parents (“a treasure trove of precious data to reconstruct the events, prove the correctness of his actions in Egypt, deny false witnesses and understand the reason for the events,” emphasizes the Prosecutor’s Office). It follows, for example, that it was Abdelrahman himself who suggested that he focus his studies and research on Egypt. on the “role of workers in the revolution in the post-Mubarak era”, and in particular on the role of autonomous unions, while she said it was Regeni’s initiative. Other “contradictions” refer to the choice of tutor in Cairo, about which Giulio had doubts, and above all the idea of requesting research funding of 10,000 pounds from the English Antipode Foundation. “It is a notice that Maha sent me some time ago,” the student wrote to his mother on November 14, 2015.
The Antipode Foundation
In the reconstruction of the Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office, this funding represents a turning point in Giulio’s destiny. The attention of the Egyptian security forces has multiplied after the discovery that Behind your contacts with street vendors in Cairo could be Antipod. National Security Major Magdi Ibrahim Sharif also said this when he confessed to his Kenyan colleague that he had arrested Regeni: “He belonged to the Antipode Foundation, which driven by the start of a revolution in Egypt“It was not true, but the mere fact that Giulio spoke of this hypothesis” that will never materialize “has become, for the prosecution,” one of the causes that contributed to its tragic end. “
The role of the trade unionist
The Italian researcher also shared the possibility of such funding with Mohamed Abdallah, leader of the autonomous union of street vendors. Who saw the possibility of winning something for himself, but also a suspect to report to the National Security agents. On December 11, 2015, Regeni attends a meeting with more than 100 trade unionists in which they discuss how to “stop the Al Sisi government’s maneuvers aimed at opposing independent unions.” There is Abdallah and there is also a girl, covered by a veil, taking a photo of Giulio; an episode that worried him a lot, according to the testimony of his friend and colleague Francesco De Lellis.
A week later, on December 18, Major Sharif asks Abdallah to investigate the provenance of the 10,000 pounds Regeni told him about. The trade unionist meets Giulio, they talk about money, and at night Giulio writes on his computer: “Human misery … He asked me what would come of it for him … I was shocked and replied that I would stay for him. the fact that he is a trade unionist who works for street vendors. ”Abdallah obtained a copy of the notice from the Italian investigator, which Sharif sent to collect on 20 December.
Interception
For the Christmas holidays, Giulio returns home to his parents, returns to Egypt on January 4, and National Security reconvenes the unionist. They agree on a new meeting between him and Regeni, which this time will be recorded. The two met on the night of January 7 and at the end of the well-known audio and video interception, Abdallah’s voice remains recorded, calling the National Security headquarters to agree to return the microphone. For the Rome Prosecutor, this episode is “clearly an operation by the Egyptian security apparatuses with the aim of documenting Regeni’s” subversive “activity, which not only betrayed expectations, but also certified the total strangeness of the Italian to any attempt to subvert the Egyptian established orderHowever, the trap that was closing around Giulio did not stop.
Professor Abdelrahman
That same January 7, Regeni also met Professor Abdelrahman, who was traveling to Cairo. He stated that between September 2015 and January 25, 2016 (the day of the kidnapping) “there were no significant contacts with Giulio.” Another lie for the Rome Prosecutor’s Office, who comments: the investigation found that in that period there were “many contacts, some particularly significant.”
