Student's murder: Italy wants evidence from Egypt
Mr Regeni's funeral was held in Italy earlier this month
Italy wants Egyptian investigators to hand over the evidence on the killing of an Italian student killed in Cairo, reports Reuters news agency.
"Cooperation with our investigative team can be and must be more effective," Italy's Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said during parliament's question time.
Giulio Regeni disappeared on 25 January, and his mutilated body was found a week later dumped by a roadside.
Egyptian activists have suggested that Egypt's security forces may have been responsible for his death. He had been researching independent trade unions in Egypt, and had been critical of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's government.
Egyptian officials have denied that the security forces had a hand in his killing.
Instead, they have suggested that the murder could have been motivated by crime or revenge.
