The judge of the preliminary hearing had issued a similar decision in mid-October of last year, because the prosecution was unable to notify the accused officially of the legal procedures against them in Italy.  Regeni, a graduate student at the University of Cambridge, disappeared in the Egyptian capital in January 2016 and his body was found about a week later and a forensic examination showed that he had been tortured before his death.

The suspects, who are being tried in absentia in Italy, have never responded publicly to the charges against them.  Italy began the trial of four senior officers in the Egyptian security services over their suspected role in the case, but proceedings were halted in October due to concerns that they may not know about the charges against them.
