A former CIA officer convicted for involvement in the kidnap of an Egyptian cleric in Italy won a last-minute reprieve from deportation from Portugal on Wednesday and will be released, her lawyer said. Sabrina de Sousa, a dual U.S.-Portuguese citizen detained last week, was already at Lisbon airport to be flown to Italy when the news came through, following a partial pardon granted by the Italian president on Tuesday. "She was in the airport this morning to be handed over to Italy, but is no longer there ... She is at the Judiciary Police in Lisbon now, but will be released today," de Sousa's lawyer, Manuel Magalhaes e Silva, told Reuters.
