Egyptian Ambassador to Italy Amr
Helmy on Monday warned against "speculation" over the probe into
the torture and murder in Cairo of Italian student Giulio
Regeni. Helmy said the investigation was proceeding "in a
satisfactory" way. In order to find the culprits, he said, "it
is necessary to wait" and let the joint Italo-Egyptian
investigation reach "an objective conclusion on the case". Egypt
has denied reports its security forces detained Regeni. Helmy
said western media reports that two security officers took
Regeni into custody on January 25, nine days before his body was
found, were "completely false".
