Regeni family says 'has 20 names'

Regeni family says 'has 20 names'

Mostly spy generals, colonels, 'cd go up to 40'

A lawyer for the family of Giulio Regeni, the Italian student tortured and murdered in Egypt in early 2016, said Wednesday "from our investigations, from our shreds of truth, there are at least 20 names involved in the abduction and killing of Giulio, mostly generals and colonels of the Egyptian national security service".
    Lawyer Alessandra Ballerini told a press conference at Italian journalists guild FNSI HQ that "the list could lengthen up to 40 people".
    Regeni's parents were received Wednesday by House Speaker Roberto Fico who said "words have now ended. And the facts are zero, I hope concrete moves come from Cairo, which so far have not come".
    Rome prosecutors have put five Egyptian officials under investigation in relation to the death of Italian researcher Regeni, sources said on Tuesday. The officials are members of a secret services department and of an investigative police unit in Cairo, the sources said.
    They are probed for alleged involvement in kidnapping, according to the sources. They were named as General Sabir Tareq, colonels Usham Helmy and Ather Kamal, and major Magdi Sharif, as well as agent Mhamoud Najem.
    Regeni, 28, disappeared in Cairo on January 25, 2016, the heavily policed fifth anniversary of the uprising that felled former strongman Hosni Mubarak, and his mutilated body was found in a ditch on the road to Alexandria on February 3. His parents said they could only recognise him "from the tip of his nose".
    Regeni, from the northern Friuli region, was researching Egyptian street sellers' unions for Cambridge University, a politically sensitive issue. The head of the Cairo street sellers' union said he flagged up Regeni to the security services.
    Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said Tuesday that Italy wanted the names of the people responsible. "We have been waiting for three years," Salvini said.
    "I want to maintain good relations with Egypt and I'll do everything to have good economic, cultural, trade and social relations with a friendly country.
    "But as an Italian, I expect the names and surnames of the culprits".
    Foreign Minister Enzo Moavero Milanesi last week summoned the Egyptian ambassador to remind him of the urgency of the case while Deputy Premier and Labour and Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio said "everything will be affected" by more Egyptian foot-dragging, including the activities of oil and gas giant ENI.
