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.
