Spain denies breaking laws in connection with CIA actions
Spanish foreign minister Miguel Angel Moratinos today told a special European Parliament committee investigating alleged CIA secret flights and detention centres in Europe there had been no violations of Spanish law with respect to CIA activities on Spanish soil, since his government took office.
“Our government has not authorised any violation of law,” Moratinos told EU lawmakers, adding Spanish authorities had not found any evidence or indications of crimes related to stop-overs of CIA flights, notably that detainees were tortured or illegally interrogated at secret locations in Spain.
