RomeAn Italian court sentenced three Egyptian agents to 10 years.
It marks the first European conviction of serving foreign intelligence officers for killing a citizen abroad.
Italy tried the men in absentia after Egypt refused for years to serve legal papers or disclose their whereabouts.
A fourth defendant, the former head of state security, was acquitted of the same charge.
Rome cannot enforce the sentences without an extradition Egypt has never granted.
