    SUBJECT: ITALY AGREES TO CONSIDER THREE DETAINEES FOR
    RESETTLEMENT, AIMS TO MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT AT G8

    Classified By: A/DCM Barbara A. Leaf for reasons 1.4(b) and (d).

    ¶1. (C) Summary. Special Envoy Fried met separately with
    Foreign Minister Frattini and Minister of Justice Alfano in
    Rome on July 1 to share information on three Guantanamo
    detainees for the Italians to consider for possible
    resettlement in Italy. Italian officials are
    contemporaneously working with the USG on a Memorandum of
    Understanding (MOU)to transfer two Guantanamo detainees and
    one Bagram detainee to Italy for prosecution, and are
    reviewing a list of eight other Guantanamo detainees to
    determine whether charges against them exist in Italy.
    Minister Alfano underlined GOI interest in the expedient
    conclusion of the MOU and both Frattini and Alfano stated
    that the GOI would like to announce the conclusion of the MOU
    and the transfer of the three detainees for prosecution at
    the G8 summit July 8-10. End summary.

    Italy Wants to Play a Leading Role
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --

    ¶2. (C) In separate meetings on July 1, Special Envoy for
    Guantanamo Closure, Ambassador Daniel Fried, met with Italian
    Minister of Justice Alfano and Italian Minister of Foreign
    Affairs Frattini. In the morning meeting, Minister of
    Justice Alfano emphasized the GOI's willingness to help the
    USG in its objective of closing the Guantanamo Bay detention
    facility. Alfano highlighted the GOI's lead role in
    developing the June 4 EU framework agreement for the
    resettlement of detainees in EU Member States and that with
    this framework now settled, the GOI stood ready to receive
    three detainees based on existing charges for each in Italian
    courts. (Embassy's DOJ Attache has worked with the Italian
    MOJ to confirm charges for two Guantanamo detainees and one
    Bagram detainee in Italian courts, and the GOI has agreed to
    receive these three individuals for possible prosecution.)
    Amb. Fried acknowledged Italy's helpful role, and noted also
    the list of eight further Guantanamo detainees provided
    recently by the Embassy for the MOJ to review in expectation
    that some may also have charges in Italian courts. Alfano
    affirmed that the GOI was conducting a preliminary review of
    those eight further names to determine whether any charges
    existed.

    ¶3. (C) Amb. Fried then moved on to a new category of detainee
    for the GOI to consider, namely individuals approved for
    resettlement and not requiring prosecution. Fried provided
    Minister Alfano the files of three detainees who the USG has
    approved for transfer, and who require resettlement due to
    post-transfer treatment concerns if returned to their country
    of origin. Amb. Fried noted that any questions the GOI might
    have on these files should be channeled through intelligence
    liaison at Embassy Rome.

    GOI Desire to Announce Transfer MOU at G8 Summit
    --------------------------------------------- ---

    ¶4. (C) Minister Alfano told Amb. Fried the GOI would like to
    complete an MOU on transfer of the three previously agreed
    detainees in time to announce their transfer at the July 8-10
    G8 summit. Amb. Fried agreed to contact Washington and ask
    that work be expedited on the MOU. In the follow-on meeting,
    Minister Frattini echoed Alfano's request that the MOU be
    ready in time for announcement at the G8. After receiving
    the same three files from Amb. Fried previously provided to
    Alfano, Frattini opined that it would be helpful to have
    Schengen-releasable versions of the files, so that the GOI
    might be able to also announce at the G8 its plans to
    disseminate information on individuals it is considering for
    resettlement apart from the possible prosecutions. On this
    issue, Frattini noted that the Italian Parliament would not
    need to ratify any arrangement for the transfer and that it
    could likewise be effected expeditiously. Frattini also
    relayed a conversation with AG Holder, during which he
    commented that the GOI may look to enter into an agreement
    with any transferred detainees that they not file legal
    actions against the United States or Italy as a condition of
    their transfer. Amb. Fried noted that the USG would not
    require this condition, but took the concern over Italian
    claims on board and promised to discuss it when back in
    Washington.

    Frattini Addresses Potential Resettlements
    ------------------------------------------

    ¶5. (C) In providing FM Frattini the files on the three
    detainees for the GOI to consider for resettlement, Amb.
    Fried focused on the fact that this group represented
    low-risk individuals who the USG is not asking the GOI to
    prosecute. Specifically, Amb. Fried highlighted the cases of

    ROME 00000786 002 OF 002

    two of the three, whom the U.S. federal courts have ordered
    released. He invited Frattini to review the files, noting
    that the GOI could pass any follow-up questions via
    intelligence channels and that the GOI is welcome to send a
    delegation to Guantanamo to speak with any detainees it is
    considering, without any commitment to take them.

    ¶6. (C) Frattini thanked Fried for the files and said he
    would have GOI authorities review them expeditiously. In
    response to Fried's question about Minister of Interior
    Maroni's reservations about accepting detainees, Frattini
    said that Maroni was concerned about the possible impact on
    Italian security, and the burden the detainees would thus
    impose on security resources, in light of any need for
    surveillance and other measures. Frattini said that if the
    U.S. was proposing detainees who were not dangerous
    (referring to the court-ordered releases), this would help
    mitigate the problem. Frattini said that his own task, on
    the other hand would be to help integrate the detainees into
    Italian society in terms of employment and other support.
    Fried responded that Italy would have to make its own
    security assessment of each detainee and that no security
    expert would likely ever say there was no risk. Fried
    assured Frattini that the USG would work with Italy to
