The new preliminary hearing has been set for January 10 next, before the gup of Rome Roberto Ranazzi, against four 007 Egyptians accused of the kidnapping and death of Giulio Regeni, the 28-year-old researcher of Friulian origin kidnapped on January 25, 2016 in Cairo , tortured for a few days and then killed on February 3.
The third assize court of Rome, on 14 October last, had returned the documents to the GUP and declared the indictment decree null and void, as there was no proof of knowledge of the procedure by the Egyptian defendants. It will therefore be up to Judge Ranazzi to decide how to proceed to track down the four and ensure that they are certainly aware of the proceedings against them.

For the prosecution, General Sabir Tariq, Colonels Usham Helmi, Athar Kamel Mohamed Ibrahim, and Magdi Ibrahim Abdelal Sharif, accused of the crime of multiple kidnapping, deserve the trial; the prosecutors also contest the complicity in aggravated personal injury and the complicity in aggravated murder against the latter.
According to La Repubblica, the Regeni case “was an abuse, interpreted by some as the result of a rivalry between the Mid, the military intelligence department and National Security”. This is what the quoidiano writes today, citing the revelations contained in confidential documents published by the French investigative site Disclose.
