Italy to try four over student's murder in Egypt
More than five years after an Italian student's body was found in Cairo, a Rome judge says four senior Egyptian security officials should face trial over his kidnap, torture and murder.
Giulio Regeni, a Cambridge University postgraduate student, disappeared in January 2016.
His body was so badly disfigured his mother could barely identify him.
The four members of the Egyptian security forces are unlikely to travel to Rome for the 14 October trial.
The murder has heightened tensions between the two countries. Italian and Egyptian investigators had originally tried to work on the case together but when Rome prosecutors pushed for a trial in late 2020, their counterparts in Cairo said there was "insufficient evidence to support the accusation in court".
