월요일에 이탈리아 재판관은 국가에서 고등 법원이 케이스에 지배할 수 있을 때까지 CIA의 특별한 번역 프로그램을 포함하는 첫번째 예심을 중단했다.

이탈리아 정부는 2003년2월 17일 에 밀라노 거리에서 이집트 테러리스트 용의자 납치의 고소된 26의 미국 피고에 대하여 검찰에게 중요한 기록 - CIA 요원으로 검찰이 확인하는 것을 제외하고 전부에 접근을 - 부정하기 위하여 입헌 법원을 요청했다.

효과적으로 상자를 황급히 달릴 논쟁에서는 발행한 책임을 정당화하기 위하여 재판관이 국가 비밀을 기소 불법으로 의지했다는 것을, 국가 변호사는 말했다.

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.
