Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni told the Italian Senate that Italy was prepared to take
Late Giulio Regeni |
That warning came hours before a delegation from Egyptian officials head to Rome to share with their Italian counterparts the investigations in Regeni's file or rather a very big dossier about the murder case.
That delegation should have arrived Rome on Tuesday but it postponed the visit later this week because there is allegedly conflict between the General Prosecution and the Egyptian police on who should lead the delegation and what to present to the Italians according to what an anonymous source told AP on Tuesday.
The Egyptian delegation will include two members of Egypt's general prosecution and three police officials.
Gentilone stated that meeting between Egyptian and Italian officials would be "decisive".
It is worth to mention that Paola Regeni, the mother of the late PhD student warned the Egyptian government as well threatening it to release a photo of her son in the morgue if it "the Egyptian government" fails to reveal the truth.
Interestingly , the Italian foreign minister said at the Italian Senate that the Egyptian authorities had not provided full information to date to the Italian investigators including documentation concerning Regeni's cell phone use and the CCTV from where he was believed to be kidnapped.
Giulio Regeni was last seen in Dokki on 25 January 2016 when he was on his way to take the Metro to Tahrir square where he was going to meet a friend.
The Egyptian ministry of foreign affairs refrained to comment on the Italian foreign minister because of the long relations between the two countries.

It is actually complicated
Now , there are lots of theories in Egypt about who really killed Regeni. Those theories show how much it is complicated.It is not a secret that the unofficial primary suspect in the case is the Egyptian security authorities aka Ministry of interior aka police.
Due to its long record of torture and forcible disappearance as well other facts including how Regeni was working on the file of unions in Egypt , the Egyptian police comes on the top of the usual suspects
The unbelievable stories of that lying eyewitness and the gang whose alleged members were all killed made it worse of the ministry of interior despite its constant claims that it did not arrest Giulio Regeni.
Sadly enough, only Italian media is speaking about those five Egyptians killed in the gang.
The fact that the police investigations in Giulio's case is headed by Khaled Shalaby , the current head of Giza's police investigation made things worse.
Police general Khaled Shalaby was officially convicted in a torture till death case in 2003 where he and other police officers in the case got one year in jail suspended sentence !!!!!
He also got one hell of record according to Egyptian human rights activists, especially in Alexandria.
Egyptians and Italians have not forgotten that Shalaby's first statement about Giulio's cause of death was a hit and run accident.

Veteran Pro-regime leftist Rafaat El-Saeed of Tagammou party claimed that late Regeni was a spy and he was killed by the Muslim Brotherhood members !!
Another wild theory that found its way among the Pro-Sisi supporters on twitter on Tuesday was that Italy was trying to have concession from Egypt especially in Libya and that is why they are using Regeni's murder as a pressure tool !!
Updated :
he Pro-Sisi supporters launched hashtag "#We_trust_Egyptian_foreign_ministry" to show solidarity with the Egyptian MOFA against Italy !! Yes , after being Egypt's BFF , Italy is now blacklisted Western country conspircing against Egypt !!!!!
The Pro-Sisi supporters are repeating rumors that Giulio Regeni was a spy and that he was killed by the British intelligence quoting an old article by Italian La Stampa , which by its turn quoted an Italian parliamentarian.
Regeni's family and Italian government denied those claims later.
Those supporters do not know that La Stampa published from 5 days a report claiming that the Egyptian minister of foreign affairs Sameh Shoukry allegedly told his U.S counterpart John Kerry that Regeni "meddled in a criminal gang" and took part in some sort of sadomasochistic sex sessions before he was killed !!!!!!
The Egyptian ministry of foreign affairs denied that claim earlier Wednesday.
The Pro-Sisi supporters do not understand or realize in other countries, citizens and their lives matter.
The problem is not to find one or dozen scapegoats. The problem is to isolate this patsy from the chain of command and prevent him from dragging the entire chain.
ReplyDeleteAdmitting the guilt in case of Regeni will generate a snowball effect for hundreds of Egyptian similar cases.
Exactly , the fear of a snowball effect is the problem here.
