In arguing that a trial in Italy would be "unmotivated", the Egyptian Prosecutor General credits the thesis according to which
unspecified "parties hostile to Egypt and Italy want to exploit" the case of Giulio Regeni "to damage relations" between the two
countries.
This, adds the Prosecutor's Office, would be proven by the place where the body was found and the choice of the day of the kidnapping and that of the discovery of the body, which took place during an Italian economic mission in Cairo.
"
The Farnesina believes that what was stated by the Egyptian Public Prosecutor's Office regarding the tragic murder of Giulio Regeni is unacceptable"
. In a note released in the evening, the Farnesina reiterates "that it has full confidence in the work of the Italian judiciary" and that "it will continue to act in all offices, including the European Union, so that the truth about the barbaric murder of Giulio Regeni can finally emerge. ". "The Farnesina hopes that the Egyptian Public Prosecutor's Office will share this need for truth and provide the necessary collaboration with the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office".
