CIA Wiedergabefall verschoben

Ein italienischer Richter am Montag verschob den ersten Versuch, der das außerordentliche Wiedergabeprogramm des CIA mit einbezieht, bis das höchste Gericht des Landes auf dem Fall anordnen kann.
Die italienische Regierung hat um um das konstitutionelle Gericht gebeten, um Verfolgern Zugang zum Schlüsselbeweis gegen die 26 amerikanischen Beklagten zu verweigern - aller als eins gekennzeichnet von den Verfolgern als CIA Mittel - beschuldigt von der Entführung eines ägyptischen Terroristverdächtigen von einer Mailand Straße am 17. Februar 2003.
In einem Argument, das effektiv den Kasten rennen würde, haben Zustandrechtsanwälte gesagt, daß der Richter, der herausgab, die Anklagen ungesetzlich auf Zustandgeheimnisse baute, um die Aufladungen zu rechtfertigen.
On Monday, Judge Oscar Magi suspended the trial until October 24, agreeing to a request by the defence to put the trial on hold until the Constitutional Court’s ruling, which is expected on October 19.
The ruling will indicate whether the trial will have the power to publicly air details of the US renditions - moving terrorism suspects from country to country without public legal proceedings - as well as to pick over details of what was supposed to be a highly secret operation.
Italian prosecutors say Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, also known as Abu Omar, was abducted in an operation coordinated by the CIA and Italian intelligence, then transferred to US bases in Italy and Germany before being moved to Egypt, where he was imprisoned for four years. Nasr, who was released on February 11, said he was tortured.
Prosecutor Armando Spataro argued vigorously that the court must continue its deliberations despite the pending case in the highest court, denying that any state secrets were involved in the preparation of the case and expressing confidence that the Constitutional Court’s decision would back him up.
Besides the Americans, seven Italians were also indicted in the case, including Nicolo Pollari, the former chief of military intelligence. Pollari has denied any involvement by Italian intelligence in the abduction.
The 26 Americans have left Italy, and a senior US official has said they would not be turned over for prosecution even if Rome requests it. The Italian government has not yet responded to prosecutors’ requests to seek their extradition.
