(ANSA) - ROME, APR 14 - Three new witnesses have accused four
Egyptian security apparatus members of torturing and murdering
Italian student Giulio Regeni in Cairo in January-February 2016, Rome prosecutors said Wednesday.
The fresh testimony has emerged in documents filed ahead of the
preliminary hearing in absentia on April 29 of National Security
General Tariq Sabir and his subordinates, Colonels Athar Kamel
Mohamed Ibrahim and Uhsam Helmi, and Major Magdi Ibrahim Abdelal
Sharif.
The hearing will weigh Rome prosecutors request to indict them
for Regeni s murder.
One of the witnesses has reportedly told the prosecutors that
the four staged a robbery gone wrong to try to cover up
The Cambridge University research student s brutalized body was
found a week later.
Rome prosecutors have requested that four members of Egypt s
security services face trial in relation to the case.
Among many difficulties, the work of the Rome prosecutors
department has led to the conclusion of investigations that have
identified a picture of grave responsibility that will soon be
subject to a trial for the consequent punishment for the guilty
parties, wrote Mattarella in a statement.
We expect a full and adequate response from the Egyptian
authorities, which have been relentlessly called on in this
regard by the Italian diplomatic services .
