Egypt says cops not involved in Italian’s death
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEgypt’s interior minister is rejecting charges of security forces involvement in the case of Italian Giulio Regeni, who was found dead bearing signs of torture after disappearing in Cairo last month.
“This did not happen,” Magdy Abdel Ghaffar says at a press conference when a reporter asks if Regeni, a Cambridge University PhD student, had been arrested by the police.
“It is completely unacceptable that such accusations be directed” at the interior ministry, he says.
“This is not Egyptian security policy — Egyptian security has never been accused of such a matter.”
Regeni disappeared on January 25 and was found dead on February 3.
