Egyptian National Prosecutor
Ahmed Nabil Sadeq and Rome Chief Prosecutor Giuseppe Pignatone
have agreed to continue exchanging information until those who
tortured and murdered Italian student Giulio Regeni in Cairo are
brought to justice, the Cairo prosecutor's office said in a
statement Wednesday. The two prosecutors spoke Monday on the
phone. Also on Wednesday, the Rome prosecutor's office dismissed
as "unreliable" a tip that Regeni's vicious murder may be linked
to an archeological artifacts-trafficking gang. The tip came in
an anonymous letter delivered to the Italian embassy in Cairo.
The chair of the parliamentary intelligence committee COPASIR
also dismissed as "a hoax" the allegation that Regeni may have
been implicated in archeological trafficking "It is another
fabrication that offends his memory," said Senator Giacomo
Stucchi.
