Italian court convicts three Egyptians over Regeni murder
Original: Italian court convicts three Egyptians over Regeni murder, acquits fourth
An Italian court has convicted three Egyptian security officials over the 2016 torture and killing of Italian student Giulio Regeni in Cairo, while acquitting a fourth defendant. The ruling, delivered in absentia, comes after years of pressure for answers over the researcher's death, which strained relations between Rome and Cairo. All four men were being tried over the abduction and murder of the Cambridge University student near the Egyptian capital.
Why now: The long-awaited verdict closes a major chapter in a case that has dominated Italian-Egyptian relations and public attention in Italy for years.
