08/02/2016 (Agence Europe) - Mogherini calls for cooperation from Egypt to elucidate murder of Italian in Cairo. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini called on Friday 5 February for cooperation from Egypt so that as much light as possible can be shed on the murder of an Italian student in Cairo. The victim appears to have been tortured. “The EU stands shoulder to shoulder with Italy in trying to ensure that the Egyptian authorities cooperate fully and that there is clarity about who is responsible and how this crime came about”, said Mogherini at the informal meeting of EU defence ministers in Amsterdam. She added that the EU will do all in its power to facilitate the work of the Italian authorities. She said that she had discussed the matter with Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni and with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry. (CG)
