Egyptian officers get 10 years for Regeni
A court in Rome has issued a ten-year prison sentence for three Egyptian security officers after they were convicted of planning the kidnapping and torture of Italian researcher Giulio Reggiani in Egypt in 2016, without convicting them of murder or directly charging them in relation to his death. His body was found nine days after his disappearance, bearing signs of severe torture and fractures in his bones. It is believed he was killed after being mistakenly identified as a foreign spy. These are the second convictions against Egyptian security personnel related to the case, which remains one of the most contentious issues between Italy and Egypt. Cairo continues to deny responsibility for his death, and the verdicts could lead to new diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
