Poland's former national security adviser said on Thursday he would sue a European investigator for naming him in a report that accused Poland and Romania of hosting secret CIA prisons for suspected terrorists.
Marek Siwiec said he had demanded that Council of Europe investigator Dick Marty remove his name from the report, in which he was mentioned as one of the officials who was aware of and could be held accountable for the prisons.
"I did not receive any answer from Marty, so I will be forced to start court proceedings for libel, for actions that were intended to harm my good name," Siwiec, who is now a vice-president of the European parliament, was quoted as saying by Polish news agency PAP. Poland and Romania deny hosting prisons for the US Central Intelligence Agency.
