Italian prosecutors have given Egyptian suspects in the murder of an Italian student just under three weeks to respond to allegations or face possible legal action.
The prosecutors said on Thursday they identified four members of Egyptian security services who are suspects in the 2016 murder of Giulio Regeni in Cairo. The suspects allegedly took part in Regeni’s kidnapping. One of them is a major in Egypt’s intelligence service and is also accused of conspiracy to commit murder. The individuals have 20 days to respond to the allegations or the prosecutors will ask a judge to indict them, Reuters reported on Thursday.
