In January 2016, 28-year-old Cambridge University researcher Giulio Regeni disappeared while conducting research on independent trade unions and street vendors in Cairo, Egypt. Nine days later, his body was discovered beside the Cairo-Alexandria highway with extensive evidence of torture.
After years of diplomatic conflict and legal delays, a Rome court reached a historic verdict on September 28, 2026, convicting three Egyptian security officials in absentia of Regeni's kidnapping. This episode reconstructs the surveillance, disappearance, disputed investigation and decade-long fight to uncover what happened to Giulio Regeni.
