  4. Egyptian authorities said they were "temporarily closing" the investigation into the 2016 murder of Italian researcher Giulio Regeni, with the killer “still unknown."
  5.  
  6. It comes as Italian prosecutors plan to bring up to five members of Egypt's security forces in Italy to justice in absentia.
  7.  
  8. Regeni, a postgraduate student at Cambridge University, disappeared in Cairo in January 2016.
  9.  
  10. His body was found nine days later.
  11.  
  12. The killing sparked a diplomatic row between the two countries, with Italian prosecutors accusing Egyptian officials of trying to mislead the investigation.
  13.  
  14. Italian investigators suspect the student was targeted by Egyptian security forces because of his research into independent trade unions – a politically controversial topic in Egypt.

  20. Egyptian authorities deny this and have suggested various other explanations for his murder-including the fact that he was robbed by a criminal gang.
  21.  
  22. Regeni's family called the latest Cairo announcement “the umpteenth slap in the face " and called on the Italian government to recall its ambassador to Egypt.
  23.  
  24. What happened to Giulio Regeni?
  25. The PhD student disappeared during a research trip on January 25, 2016 – the fifth anniversary of the start of the uprising against former President Hosni Mubarak, meaning there was a heavy police presence in Cairo.
  26.  
  27. His body was discovered on February 3 in a ditch on the side of a road. His mother told the Italian parliament in 2018 that her son's body was so disfigured that she could only identify him by the tip of his nose.
  28.  
  29. An Italian autopsy revealed that Regeni had been tortured "in stages" between January 25 and the day of his death.
  30.  
  31. His body suffered injuries that show he was beaten with kicks, fists, sticks and clubs, and died from a broken neck, prosecutors said.
  32.  
  33. Egypt has denied Regeni died in custody, although officials have admitted that security services are monitoring him.
  34.  
  35. What Does Egypt say now?
  36. A statement from the Cairo prosecutor expressed " reservations “about the strength of Italy's arguments against security officers and said there was”not enough evidence to support the charge in court." He added that " the Attorney General of Egypt respects the decisions that will be taken, in his autonomy, by the prosecutor's office in Rome.”
  37.  
  38. He said Egyptian prosecutors had “gathered sufficient evidence against a criminal gang accused of aggravated theft of Regeni's belongings that were found at the home of one of the criminal gang members.” But he added that the "material perpetrator" of the murder remains unknown.
  39.  
  40. "The Egyptian prosecutor's office will proceed with the temporary closure of the case ... by instructing the competent investigative authorities to take all necessary measures to identify those responsible for the murder,” he said.
  41.

  43. Egyptian investigators have previously suggested that Regeni was murdered by a gang of five criminals – and that all were later killed in a shootout. Italian officials called the idea " implausible."
  44.  
  45. Last year, Italian prosecutor Sergio Colaiocco told a parliamentary committee that Egyptian officials had created " false stories ... to derail the investigation."
  46.  
  47. The first was that a post-mortem examination-carried out in Egypt-showed that the student had been killed in a car accident. This was contradicted by the review in Italy, he said.
  48.  
  49. Another was that, because Regeni was naked when her body was found, there was a sexual motive behind her death.
  50.  
  51. Mr Colaiocco said another Egyptian claim, that Regeni was seen arguing with a foreigner near the Italian consulate the day before his death, had been debunked by phone records.
  52.  
  53. What is Italy's position?
  54. Legal sources in Rome told Reuters news agency that Italian prosecutors had to advance the trial in absentia of some or all five suspects. The Italian investigation is expected to be formally closed this week, the sources said.
  55.  
  56. Last week, Italian media reported that investigators had received testimony from several witnesses claiming that Regeni was abducted by Egyptian security officers and taken to at least two barracks before his death.

  60. Regeni's parents called Egypt's latest statement “an absolute lack of respect not only for our judicial system but also for our intelligence.”
  61.  
  62. “In these five years we have been subjected to all kinds of injury and contempt from Egypt, which has kidnapped, tortured and killed our son,” they said.
