Three Egyptians convicted in absentia over Regeni kidnapping
Original: Italian court convicts three Egyptians in absentia for kidnap of slain student Regeni
An Italian court has convicted three Egyptian security officers in absentia for the kidnapping of Giulio Regeni, the Cambridge University student tortured and killed in Egypt in 2016. The verdict marks a rare step toward accountability in a case that has strained Italy-Egypt relations for years. Rome continues to press Cairo for answers about who ordered and carried out the killing.
Why now: The verdict is a major development in a long-running case that has symbolised impunity and strained diplomatic ties between Italy and Egypt.
