Ex-CIA agent convicted in Italy has asked for a pardon
Sabrina De Sousa, who was arrested last week in Portugal on a European warrant, submitted the pardon request last year, lawyer Dario Bolognesi told The Associated Press. He said the process was held up when Italy changed presidents but he expects to meet with Judicial Ministry officials, who are also part of the pardon process, later this month.
De Sousa, who was working in Italy under diplomatic cover, faces a six-year sentence for her role in the 2003 kidnapping of Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, a terror suspect who was under surveillance by Italian law enforcement at the time.
