Italy distances itself from Egypt remarks over Regeni verdict
Original: Italy distances Egypt from verdict over Giulio Regeni as opposition attacks
Italy's government has moved to distance Egypt from controversy surrounding the verdict in the Giulio Regeni case, drawing sharp attacks from opposition politicians. Regeni, an Italian researcher, was found dead near Cairo in 2016 after being tortured, a case that has strained relations between Rome and Cairo for years. The opposition accuses the government of softening its stance toward Egypt.
Why now: A new verdict in the long-running Regeni case has reignited political controversy in Italy over the government's handling of Egypt.
