Italian court convicts three Egyptian officials over Regeni kidnapping

Original: An Italian court on Monday convicted three Egyptian security officials of involvement in the 2016 kidnapping of student

An Italian court on Monday convicted three Egyptian security officials for their involvement in the 2016 kidnapping of Giulio Regeni, the Cambridge University student whose tortured body was found on a Cairo roadside days after he disappeared. The verdict is a landmark in Italy's years-long effort to establish accountability, though Egypt has consistently denied involvement and the defendants were tried in absentia.

Why now: The verdict marks a rare conviction of Egyptian security officials in a case that has strained Italy-Egypt relations for years.
