The Egyptian lawyer says they are two parallel events:
The first, is a gang of Egyptians who attack foreigners in Egypt and steal their stuff, they were responsible for several attacks including Regeni.
He claims other foreigners reported similar cases since 2015. 2/

Same lawyer says that another unrelated event, in which one of vendors who regeni dealt with as case study for his research became suspicious of Regeni and reported him to #Egypt’s security. He asserted that security investigated the claim and found it wrong; #Regeni innocent 3/
Lawyer also said that allegations of torture by #Regeni, after being reported by vendor, was allowed to travel to Italy then returned to Egypt. And if authorities were suspicious of him, they would never allowed him to return 4/
He is dismissed an alleged video of #Regeni torture, by saying Egyptian security are not that naive 5/
The interview, it seems, is ahead of Italian trial against 4 Egyptian security officers accused of killing #Regeni.
The trial is due soon.
Unclear if Egypt will send a defense team or completely ignore the trial 6/
