Egypt won't appeal Rigini officers' conviction
Egypt announced that it will not file an appeal against the Italian judicial ruling that sentenced three of its security officials in absentia for their involvement in the kidnapping of researcher Giulio Reggiani in 2016, whose body was found days after his disappearance, showing signs of torture. The Egyptian government confirmed that it is ignoring the legal proceedings and does not engage with them, expecting that the relations with Italy will not be affected by the verdict. The Italian court sentenced the three officers to 10 years in prison, acquitted a former official of the National Security Agency, and convicted them of kidnapping and detaining Reggiani, without specifying the location of the defendants. This ruling previously caused tension between the two countries, but relations have gradually improved, with Egypt and Italy establishing a joint committee to enhance economic cooperation. Officials considered the case as an individual matter and did not directly condemn the Egyptian government institutions.
