What happened
An Italian court has found three Egyptian security officers guilty of the 2016 murder of Italian student Giulio Regeni. Regeni, a 28-year-old PhD candidate at Cambridge, was killed and mutilated while on a research trip in Cairo. Investigators believe that Egyptian authorities mistakenly thought Regeni was a spy, leading to his brutal murder.
The conviction of the three Egyptian security officers marks a significant development in the case, which has been ongoing for several years. The incident has strained relations between Italy and Egypt, with Italy pushing for greater cooperation and transparency from Egyptian authorities in the investigation.
