Swiss and Italy Drop Investigation, Ask UN To Remove His Terror-listing
On June 1, 2005 the Swiss case was dropped, due to lack of evidence. The Prosecutor was admonished by the Court for opening a file on Nada without any specific reason. The Italian case was closed in 2007, after a lengthy investigation whereby the Prosecutor stated that the grounds for opening hte case appeared to be more political and agenda-driven rather than judicial or evidence based. Italian premier newspaper Corriere Della Sera reported on such event.
Both the Swiss and Italian governments petitioned the Committee of the United Nations in-charge of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267 terror blacklist.
In 2009, Nada was removed from the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267 terror blacklist (UNSC 1267).
