Trial of four Egyptian officers accused of kidnapping and murdering Italian student Giulio Regeni resumes in Italy. Regeni, a postgraduate student at Cambridge University, was found dead in Cairo in 2016 after being tortured. Italian prosecutors believe Egyptian officials were involved but lack evidence to locate them, leading to a trial in absentia. Egypt denies state involvement in Regeni's death.
