Rights court slams Italy on CIA snatch

The European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday condemned Italy for preventing justice being done in the 2003 US extraordinary rendition of a Muslim cleric from Milan.
The Strasbourg court said Italy abused State secrecy norms to protect Italian defendants, including Italy‘s then top two spies, and was also wrong not to request the extradition of 22 CIA agents and a US Air Force colonel who were convicted.
