Regeni, a 28-year-old Friuli born Cambridge University doctoral researcher, was tortured to death in Egypt between January 25 and February 3, 2016.
A Rome judge has asked Italy’s Constitutional Court to rule on whether the trial can proceed without the presence of the four Egyptian security agents who have been charged in Italy with his murder and without any proof that they know they are on trial.
The Egyptian authorities have not cooperated with Italian efforts to formally notify the suspects that they are on trial, which has prevented proceedings moving forward.
