Contact has been restored between
Italian and Egyptian prosecutors on the Cairo torture and murder
of Italian student Giulio Regeni, Foreign Minister Paolo
Gentiloni said Friday.
"The Rome prosecutor's office has sent a new request (for
information) and I know that contacts between the prosecutors'
office are ongoing," he said on RAI radio.
Gentiloni voiced the hope that Rome Chief Prosecutor
Giuseppe Pignatone's "activity can revive some useful contacts".
But in the meantime, he stressed, Italy was "maintaining a
position of dissatisfaction".
Italy broke off judicial collaboration and recalled its
ambassador on April 8 after a summit in Rome failed.
Rome has repeatedly called for records of phone calls made
in the areas where Regeni disappeared and where his body was
found 10 days later.
