Egyptian President Abdel Fattah
el-Sisi made "evident and significant steps forward" on the case
of murdered Italian student Giulio Regeni in an interview with
La Repubblica Wednesday and now "all together we will find the
culprits," Premier Matteo Renzi told the House. El-Sisi, he
said, said "very important words that confirm what he calls the
special relationship between Italy and Egypt. The involvement of
(Rome Chief) Prosecutor (Giuseppe) Pignatone is important, and
there should be a shared investigation. In the interview, he
noted, the president "directly addresses the Regeni family."
El-Sisi told La Repubblica that Egypt intended to make new
efforts to lend fresh impetus to a previously slow-moving probe.
He also noted that Regeni's body was found on February 3, during
an important trade visit by an Italian delegation led by
Industry Minister Federica Guidi, and suggested the body was
dumped to try to spoil Egypt-Italy relations.
