Italy distances itself from Egypt verdict over Giulio Regeni case
Original: Italy distances Egypt from verdict over Giulio Regeni as opposition attacks
The Italian government has moved to distance Egypt from a court verdict connected to the 2016 killing of researcher Giulio Regeni, drawing sharp criticism from opposition politicians who accuse Rome of softening its stance to protect diplomatic ties. Regeni, a Cambridge doctoral student, was found dead near Rome with signs of torture, and Egypt has long denied involvement.
Why now: The government's careful wording over accountability for Regeni's murder has reignited a politically charged debate in Italy.
