The investigation into the
Cairo torture and murder of Giulio Regeni has come onto "the
right track as far as the British side is concerned" after
initial "havering" by his former tutor Maha Abdelrahman, Italian
Ambassador to the UK Paquale Terracciano told ANSA Thursday.
Delays in the UK side of the probe "were not due to the
London authorities nor to Cambridge University per se, but to an
individual lecturer, Regeni's tutor, who had a havering and
contradictory attitude," Terracciano said.
This has now been put right and Abdelrahman has handed over
her computer and database in a "rather invasive step", the
ambassador said.
Abdelrahman, who has been accused of putting Regeni in harm's
way with a PhD subject that was too politically sensitive,
Egyptian trade unions, recently stressed that the 28-year-old
Friuili-born researcher had "freely chosen" his doctoral
subject.
