The trial of an Italian-Ivorian dual citizen suspected of killing Egyptian diplomat Alaa al-Din Nazmi in Geneva 29 years ago begins in Bellinzona. Advances in forensic technology have led to the suspect’s identification through DNA and fingerprints, but the motivations and identities of those who allegedly ordered the murder remain unclear. The case is rooted in the political tensions of 1990s Egypt, where the diplomat was investigating Muslim Brotherhood financial activities in Switzerland, leading to speculation about Islamist involvement in the assassination.
