Italy's top prosecutor Giuseppe Pignatone met on Thursday with his Egyptian counterpart Nabil Sadek in Cairo to discuss the latest developments in the investigation into the 2016 murder of Italian student Giulio Regeni in Cairo, according to a joint statement by Egypt's prosecutor-general and the Italian prosecution. During the meeting, the Egyptian prosecution shared with Pignatone the latest developments in the investigation, and the two discussed the ongoing work in retrieving footage from security cameras at Cairo's Dokki Metro station, which purportedly show Regeni shortly before his disappearance on 25 January 2016. Meanwhile, the Italian prosecution shared with the Egyptian side a report prepared by the Italian judicial police based on previous documents on the case submitted by Egypt to Italy. Earlier this week, Egypt's president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi stressed in a meeting with the Italian Minister of Interior Marco Minniti in CairoEgypt's "sincere determination" to reach final conclusions in the ongoing probe into Regeni murder. Minniti said he appreciated the Egyptian president's recent public statements on the Regeni case, made during the November World Youth Forum (WYF) in Sharm El-Sheikh. At the forum El-Sisi asserted the Egyptian state's commitment to ascertaining the full truth of the matter.
