Yes. On September 28, 2026, a Rome court convicted three Egyptian security officials in absentia of aggravated kidnapping in the 2016 case of Italian Cambridge PhD student Giulio Regeni, sentencing each to 10 years in prison. A fourth defendant was acquitted.
Regeni disappeared in Cairo in January 2016 while researching Egyptian trade unions; his tortured body was found days later. Italian prosecutors argued Egypt’s national security agency was involved; Egyptian authorities have denied state responsibility.
