Italian court convicts three Egyptian agents for kidnap of Giulio Regeni

An Italian court sentenced three Egyptian security officials to 10 years in prison for kidnapping Giulio Regeni, whose body was found with signs of torture. A fourth defendant was acquitted; they were tried in absentia and are unlikely to face extradition due to strained Italy-Egypt relations. Regeni, a Cambridge postgraduate student, disappeared in Cairo in January 2016, and his body showed evidence of torture, which human rights activists linked to Egyptian security forces, though Egypt denied involvement.
