Italian court convicts three Egyptians over Regeni kidnapping
Original: Italian court convicts three Egyptians for kidnapping slain student Regeni
An Italian court has convicted three Egyptian security officials for their role in the kidnapping of Giulio Regeni, the Cambridge University student tortured and killed in Egypt in 2016. The verdict delivers partial justice, as none of the defendants were present at trial and no one has been convicted for Regeni's murder itself. The case has long strained relations between Italy and Egypt.
Why now: The conviction marks a major, long-awaited development in a case that has defined Italy-Egypt relations for nearly a decade.
