Italian Foreign Minister Paolo
Gentiloni on Monday said in coming days he'll review progress
with the Italian investigative team that has been in Cairo for
about 10 days probing the brutal murder of Italian doctoral
student Giulio Regeni.
Gentiloni called Italy's partnership with Egypt "an
important one" and said he expects "full and total collaboration
on the part of the Egyptian authorities".
"It's clear that we won't settle for easy reconstructions
or convenient truth," Gentiloni said.
"And it's also clear that the passage of time won't
diminish our efforts on this issue," he said.
The 28-year-old Regeni was a Cambridge University PhD
student conducting research in Cairo on independent trade
unions.
His burned, cut, and mutilated body was found dumped in a
ditch on February 3 after he went missing on January 25 - the
fifth anniversary of the uprising that ended the regime of Hosni
Mubarak.
