Federal prosecutors in Munich are currently reviewing a request to issue an arrest warrant for Gina Haspel, President Donald Trumps recently named director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Haspel currently serves as the deputy director for the CIA and her nomination to head the agency must be approved by the U.S. Senate. Prior to her appointment as CIA deputy director, Haspel controversially ran a secret CIA prison in Thailand used to house, question, and allegedly torture detainees during the second Bush administrations War on Terror.
Haspels tenure as Chief of Base at the prisonand what she did while serving in that roleis the subject of the arrest warrant request.
On June 6, 2017, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) initiated a request for legal action against Haspel by filing an intervention with the German Federal Public Prosecutor, the foremost law enforcement authority in the Federal Republic of Germany. This office is led by Attorney General Peter Frank.
