<div class="presscontenttext"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> The Attorney General announced today the closure of the criminal investigations into the death of two individuals while in United States custody at overseas locations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span>Below is some background on the investigation and the Attorney General’s statement. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style:

ON INVESTIGATION: </em></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"> <span style="text-decoration: none;">  </span></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> On Jan. 2, 2008, Attorney General Michael Mukasey selected Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) John Durham of the District of Connecticut to conduct a criminal investigation into the destruction of interrogation videotapes by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">  </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> On Aug. 24, 2009, based on information the Department received pertaining to alleged CIA mistreatment of detainees, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that he had expanded Mr. Durham’s mandate to conduct a preliminary review into whether federal laws were violated in connection with the interrogation of specific detainees at overseas locations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span>Attorney General Holder made clear at that time, that the Department would not prosecute anyone who acted in good faith and within the scope of the legal guidance given by the Office of Legal Counsel regarding the interrogation of detainees. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Accordingly, Mr. Durham’s review examined primarily whether any unauthorized interrogation techniques were used by CIA interrogators, and if so, whether such techniques could constitute violations of the torture statute or any other applicable statute.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">  </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> In June of last year, the Attorney General announced that Mr. Durham recommended opening full criminal investigations regarding the death of two individuals while in United States custody at overseas locations, and closing the remaining matters. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span>The Attorney General accepted that recommendation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span>Today, the Attorney General announced that those two investigations conducted over the past year have now been closed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">  </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> ATTORNEY GENERAL STATEMENT</strong> :</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">  </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> “AUSA John Durham has now completed his investigations, and the Department has decided not to initiate criminal charges in these matters. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">    </span>In reaching this determination, Mr. Durham considered all potentially applicable substantive criminal statutes as well as the statutes of limitations and jurisdictional provisions that govern prosecutions under those statutes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">    </span>Mr. Durham and his team reviewed a tremendous volume of information pertaining to the detainees. That review included both information and matters that were not examined during the Department’s prior reviews. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span>Based on the fully developed factual record concerning the two deaths, the Department has declined prosecution because the admissible evidence would not be sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">  </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> “During the course of his preliminary review and subsequent investigations, Mr. Durham examined any possible CIA involvement with the interrogation and detention of 101 detainees who were alleged to have been in United States custody subsequent to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>He determined that a number of the detainees were never in CIA custody. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Mr. Durham identified the matters to include within his review by examining various sources including the Office of Professional Responsibility’s report regarding the Office of Legal Counsel memoranda related to enhanced interrogation techniques, the 2004 CIA Inspector General’s report on enhanced interrogations, additional matters investigated by the CIA Office of Inspector General, the February 2007 International Committee of the Red Cross Report on the Treatment of Fourteen ‘High Value Detainees’ in CIA Custody, and public source information.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">  </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> “Mr. Durham and his team of agents and prosecutors have worked tirelessly to conduct extraordinarily thorough and complete preliminary reviews and investigations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span>I am grateful to his team and to him for their commitment to ensuring that the preliminary review and the subsequent investigations fully examined a broad universe of allegations from multiple sources. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span>I continue to believe that our Nation will be better for it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">  </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> “I also appreciate and respect the work of and sacrifices made by the men and women in our intelligence community on behalf of this country. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span>They perform an incredibly important service to our nation, and they often do so under difficult and dangerous circumstances. They deserve our respect and gratitude for the work they do. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span>I asked Mr. Durham to conduct this review based on existing information as well as new information and matters presented to me that I believed warranted a thorough examination of the detainee treatment issue. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">  </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> “I am confident that Mr. Durham’s thorough reviews and determination that the filing of criminal charges would not be appropriate have satisfied that need. Our inquiry was limited to a determination of whether prosecutable offenses were committed and was not intended to, and does not resolve, broader questions regarding the propriety of the examined conduct.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span></p></div> <div class="presscontenttailor"><div class="prnumber">12-1067</div><div class="prcomponent">Attorney General</div></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="rightcolumn"> <div class="rightcolcontenttop">  <div class="openbox"> <a id="accbox" href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/accomplishments/" title="Department of Justice Accomplishments"><span>Department of Justice Accomplishments</span></a> </div>  <div class="openbox"> <a id="openbox" href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/open/" title="Open Government at the Department of Justice"><span>Open Government at the Department of Justice</span></a> </div>  <div class="cjsbox"> <a id="cjsbox" href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/cjs/" title="The Criminal Justice System as a Counterterrorism Tool"><span>The Criminal Justice System as a Counterterrorism Tool</span></a> </div> </div> <div class="rightcolcontentbottom">  <a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/spanish/"><img border="0" src="/web/20130113041529im_/http://www.justice.gov/images/doj-en-espanol.jpg" width="270" height="43" alt="Justice.gov en espanol"/></a>  <div class="actioncenter"> <p><img src="/web/20130113041529im_/http://www.justice.gov/images/action-center.jpg" alt="Department of Justice Seal - Department of Justice Action Center"/></p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/actioncenter/crime.html">Report a Crime</a></p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/careers/careers.html">Get a Job</a></p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/actioncenter/inmate.html">Locate a Prison, Inmate, or Sex Offender</a> </p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/10grants/">Apply for a Grant</a> </p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/actioncenter/complaint.html">Submit a Complaint</a></p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/oig/hotline/">Report Waste, Fraud, Abuse or Misconduct to the Inspector General</a></p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/actioncenter/sale.html">Find Sales of Seized Property</a></p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/actioncenter/victim.html">Find Help and Information for Crime Victims</a></p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/actioncenter/register.html">Register, Apply for Permits, or Request Records</a></p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/actioncenter/most-wanted-fugitives.html">Identify Our Most Wanted Fugitives</a></p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/forms/dojform.php">Find a Form</a></p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/actioncenter/missing-person.html">Report and Identify Missing Persons</a></p> <p><a href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/contact-us.html">Contact Us</a> </p> <br/> </div>  <div class="recoverybox"> <a id="recoverybox" href="/web/20130113041529/http://www.justice.gov/recovery/" title="The Recovery Act and the Department of Justice- learn about our efforts to jumpstart the economy"><span> Recovery Act</span></a> </div>  <div class="stayconnectedNew"> <script type="text/javascript">  </script> <img name="get_connected_01" id="get_connected_01" src="/web/20130113041529im_/http://www.justice.gov/images/stayconnected-basebig.jpg" width="268" height="235" border="0" alt="Stay Connected" usemap="#get_connected_01_Map"/> <map name="get_connected_01_Map" id="get_connected_01_Map"> <area shape="rect" alt="YouTube" coords="174,146,236,223" href="javascript:exitWinOpen('https://web.archive.org/web/20130113041529/http://www.youtube.com/TheJusticeDepartment');" target="_self" onmouseover="changeImages('get_connected_01', '/images/stayconnected-YouTube_overBig.jpg');
