Rome\u2019s Deputy Public Prosecutor Sergio Colaiocco announced continuing cooperation with Egypt in the ongoing investigation into the killing of a 28-year old Italian citizen in Cairo in 2016. <\/p>\n
Colaiocco praised the existing coordination between the two countries in the joint investigations on the murder of the doctoral researcher Giulio Regeni who was tortured and killed in Cairo. His body was discovered in February 2016. <\/p>\n
According to Italian media reports, Colaiocco said that suspects in the case would be formally investigated in the upcoming days, noting that the strong cooperation between the two countries will unveil the truth. <\/p>\n
Italy\u2019s Chamber of Deputies decided on Dec. 29 to halt all diplomatic relations with Egypt\u2019s Parliament until there is a breakthrough and trial in the case of Regeni. <\/p>\n
According to the Italian news agency of ANSA, the speaker of Italian Parliament Roberto Fico said on Friday that there will be complete suspension of diplomatic relations with the Egyptian Parliament due to the slow and inconclusive investigations of the murdered Italian student. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith great regret I announce that Montecitorio will suspend all kinds of diplomatic relations with the Egyptian Parliament until there is a real turning point in the investigation concerning the murder of Giulio Regeni,\u201d Fico said. <\/p>\n
Immediately following the Italian unilateral decision, Parliament Speaker Ali Abdel Aal expressed dissatisfaction with the Italian Parliament\u2019s move, saying that a unilateral decision won\u2019t help with the results of the investigations and won\u2019t affect the Egyptian-Italian strong relations. <\/p>\n
