Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 27 - Rome Chief Prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi on WEdnesday voiced satisfaction at being enabled to proceed against four Egyptian security officers suspected of torturing to death Italian student Giulio Regeni in Cairo in early 2016, after Italy's top court ended a stalemate in the case.
    "Great satisfaction certainly for the possibility of holding a trial according to our constitutional standards, which remain the beacon of our work," said Lo Voi.
    "For the rest, we are waiting for the motivations to see how to proceed, hoping to find the civil plaintiff at our side in the subsequent stages".
    The Constitutional Court ruled the trial in absentia of the four could go ahead even though, due to a lack of cooperation from Cairo, they have not been notified they are on trial. (ANSA).
