Egypt thought murdered Italian student was a British spy, witness says

Activists of human rights organisation Amnesty International hold a picture of Giulio Regeni, an Italian student who was later found murdered because he was thought to be a British spy. Picture: ANDREAS SOLARO / AFPEgyptian police arrested and beat an Italian student who was later found murdered because they thought he was a British spy, according to fresh testimony reported by Italian newspapers on Sunday.

The Italian foreign ministry tweeted on Sunday that it “supports the Rome prosecutor’s request for information, in the strong hope that it contributes to the path of justice for Giulio Regeni”. “We thought he was an English spy, we picked him up, I went and after putting him in the car we had to beat him. I myself hit him several times in the face,” the intelligence agent said, according to the Correre della Sera newspaper.
