Posted: 01 Feb 2010 09:22 AM PST

FILE - In this Friday,  Nov.4, 2009 file photo,  Italian Judge Oscar Magi is seen at the court, in Milan, Italy.  Magi says it is likely that the Italian secret services were at least aware of, if not complicit in, the 2003 kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric as part of the CIA's extraordinary renditions program. Judge Oscar Magi released his reasoning on Monday for the guilty verdicts in November against 23 Americans and two Italians in what were the first legal convictions anywhere in the world involving the CIA's program of abducting terror suspects and transferring them to third countries, where critics say they are tortured. Three American diplomats and five Italians were acquitted. The judge says the fact that the CIA ran the operation on Italian soil 'allows the presumption' that Italian secret services were aware or 'maybe even complicit.' But the judge says that was impossible to prove due to state secrecy.
