Decision of the Court of Cassation, V Criminal Section, No. 39788 of 11 March 2014
The Court of Cassation rejected an appeal from three US nationals who had been sentenced in Italy for complicity in the abduction of the suspected terrorist Abu Omar, which occurred in Milan, in the framework of CIA ‘extraordinary rendition’ operations. Based on the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the pertinent norms of general international law, these persons were not entitled to immunity from criminal jurisdiction, because those illicit acts were done by them as members of an intelligence organization, and not in the performance diplomatic or consular functions.
