Classified By: A/ECMIN Kathleen Reddy for Reasons 1.4(b) and (d).
1. (U) This is an action request. Please see para 4.
2. (C) Finance Ministry Director for Financial Crimes,
Cristina Collura, provided EconOff May 15 two, several
hundred page pre-trial detention orders, issued by the Court
of Milan, on four individuals the Government of Italy (GOI)
then proposed for designation under UN 1267 (ref B). In
June, the GOI reduced the number of individuals they would
like to designate from four to three, and at our request,
specified approximately 130 pages of the documents that
Washington agencies should review to understand the GOI
evidence for such designations. Embassy Rome has translated,
and sent to Washington agencies for review, the 130 pages of
text (ref A).
3. (C) Giampaolo Cantini, MFA Office Director for G8 and
Global Issues, told EconOff July 6 that the GOI would, in
theory, pre-notify beginning July 18. Further, that the GOI
is concerned that the proposed designees will shift their
assets if there is a delay in the designation process. The
GOI will not/not pre-notify, unless we respond to their
request either to support their proposed designations at the
UN or not to put a hold on their proposed designations.
4. (SBU) Action Requested: Embassy requests a response no
later than July 14 on whether we will support the GOI
designations, or, absent our support, an agreement that we
will not put a hold on the designations, if the GOI
pre-notifies beginning July 18. End Action Request.
