New Regeni meeting in Cairo Sunday

(ANSA) - Rome, May 6 - Italian officials probing the abduction, torture and murder of Italian doctoral student Giulio Regeni in Cairo over three months ago are to return to the Egyptian capital for a new meeting with their Egyptian counterparts on Sunday, sources said Friday.
    The officials are travelling on the invitation of Egyptian prosecutor-general Ahmed Nail Sadeq, departing Saturday and returning Monday.
    The Italian and Egyptian investigators are expected to examine developments in the probe since an April summit in Rome ended in failure.
    The Egyptian officials could also hand over documents requested officially by prosecutors via diplomatic means in mid-April. Meanwhile on Friday it emerged that the phone records of Mohamed Abdallah, leader of the informal traders' union, are among five sent to Rome from Egypt on Wednesday. Regeni, a 28-year-old Cambridge doctoral student researching Egyptian trade unions, attended a meeting organised by the union on December 14. Regeni disappeared on January 25, the heavily policed fifth anniversary of the uprising that toppled former strongman Hosni Mubarak.
    Italy has complained of a lack of cooperation from Cairo in getting to the bottom of the case after Regeni's mutilated body was found in a ditch on the road to Alexandria on February 3.
    Egypt has proffered several unlikely versions of his death that included a car crash, a gay lovers' quarrel, and a kidnapping for ransom gone wrong.
