Italy-Egypt talks on Regeni murder case to begin in Rome

Rome, (IINA) - Egyptian and Italian prosecutors and police started a two-day round of talks in Rome on Thursday to speed up the investigation in the case of Giulio Regeni, an Italian university researcher brutally killed in Cairo two months ago, DPA reported.
The Egyptian delegation landed in the Italian capital late Wednesday and was to meet at 0800 GMT with Rome chief prosecutor Giuseppe Pignatone and other Italian magistrates and investigators.
"We wait for the magistrates to hold their meetings. We are ready to follow that work with great determination. No attempt to wriggle out of the truth will be accepted", Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi told Il Mattino newspaper on Wednesday.
Regeni, who was in Cairo to research trade unions, disappeared on January 25, and was found dead seven days later with clear signs of torture on his body.
