The Egyptian Prosecutor’s Office continues to defend the four members of the National security accused by prosecutors in Rome of being responsible for the kidnapping, torture and murder of Jules Regeni. As already stated in the joint note drawn up with the Italian counterparts on November 30, and after the magistrates’ accounts of the torture committed by the Cairo intelligence against the Fiumicello, the Attorney General Hamada Al Sawi reiterated in a statement that “at the moment there is no reason to initiate criminal proceedings for the murder, kidnapping and torture of the victim Giulio Regeni, as the person responsible remains unknown“.
The note released by Cairo emphasizes once again that the Prosecutor’s Office “has instructed the parties in charge of the investigation to continue the investigation to identify” the perpetrators. This is because “we exclude what has been attributed to four National Security agents in this case”, from which it has not yet been provided to Italian colleagues, rogatory 2019, the choice of the address of the suspects.
But the Egyptian prosecutor goes further, confirming that he focuses his attention on the hypothesis that the kidnapping and murder of Giulio Regeni was a gang of five thieves murdered under suspicious circumstances in March 2016. Intervention by the Egyptian security forces, which was followed by the discovery of documents and alleged personal effects belonging to the young Friulian at the home of one of the murdered persons. The problem is that this operation has turned out to be a staging invented, it is assumed, by Egyptian intelligence to misleading investigations which instead lead directly to the pinnacle of Cairo’s services, given that on the day Regeni was abducted, January 25, 2016, the head of the alleged gang was away from Cairo, as evidenced by a connection from his mobile to a cell. Awlad saqr, north of the capital. “Watch the death of the accused – writes the Egyptian prosecutor – there is no reason to initiate criminal proceedings for the theft of the victim’s property, which left wound marks on his body ”.
Prosecutors contradict each other, among other things, when they offer their political interpretation of the Regeni affair. By arguing that a trial in Italy would be unfounded, the Prosecutor actually confirms the thesis that “parties hostile to Egypt and Italy want to exploit” the case of Giulio Regeni “Damaging relationships” between the two countries. This, they argue, would be proven by the place where the body was found and by the choice of both the day of the abduction and the discovery of the body, which took place during an Italian economic mission in Cairo, the text argues. But if it had been the work of a simple band of robbers, it is not clear why they would have had to organize a staging “to damage relations” between Italy and Egypt.
The Prosecutor’s Office alleges that “unknown persons could have taken advantage of” Regeni’s movements “to commit the crime, choosing on January 25 (anniversary of the 2011 revolution, ed) because they knew that Egyptian security was busy ensuring the security of state institutions ”. The perpetrator “should have kidnapped and tortured him so that the crime was attributed to Egyptian security, he threw his body on the side of a important structure belonging to the police and coinciding with the visit of an Italian economic delegation to Egypt, the text states with implicit reference to the mission carried out by the then Minister of Economic Development Federica Guidi. “All this as if the criminal had the purpose of informing the whole world of his death and Attract attention”About him, he adds. “This shows the Attorney General that the parties hostile to Egypt and Italy want to exploit this incident to damage relations between the two countries at a time when these relations had recently had positive developments. These parts are also supported by the media known for their instigation of conflicts “and therefore the Prosecutor’s Office, based on the” circumstances of this case and in light of this analysis, believes that there is another side that has not yet been revealed by the investigations, as well as the author “Of crime.
The magistrates go as far as judge behavior held by Giulio Regeni during his stay in Egypt, while researching for his thesis, defining it “It does not suit his role as a researcher” and for this place “under observation” for Egyptian security “without however violating his freedom or his private life.” However – they add – their behavior was not evaluated as harmful to general security and, therefore, the control was interrupted ”.
