American secret jails existed in Italy and Poland, member of the European Parliament Claudio Fava stated. “The information that we obtained, gives us serious grounds to suppose that there existed secret jails on territories of Italy and Poland, where alleged terrorists were kept,” Fava said to a press conference in Brussels dedicated to the results of an investigation on CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) secret jails in Europe. He said, 14 European states have assisted the United States in establishing secret jails in Europe. “We have found out 14 European governments, which helped the USA to carry out investigations and establish secret jails, existence of which contradicts to the Geneva Convention,” the parliamentarian said. He stressed, according to information, which owns the commission, European countries in rare cases refused to cooperate with the US CIA on this issue. He also said, Romania has not responded to questions sent by the commission, which was carrying out the investigation, RIA “Novosti” reports.
