Egypt refuses Italy’s ‘unconstitutional’ requests in Regeni case

House committee meets on Regeni case, relations with Italy: An ad-hoc committee of the House of Representatives said yesterday Egypt cannot legally comply with recent requests from Italian investigators probing the murder in Cairo of grad student Giulio Regeni. Italian officials have asked that Egypt turn-in three people who contact with Regeni; one mn phone call records; and various camera recordings, House foreign affairs undersecretary Tarek El-Kholy tells Al Mal. This decision came during yesterday’s hearing session held by House committees of foreign affairs, defense, national security and human rights, where representatives of the justice and interior ministries as well as public and national security representatives were summoned for a briefing. The House committees will draft a report about the briefing, to be submitted to House Speaker Ali Abdel Aal within 48 hours.
