New York Times: A CIA secret jail on a busy street in Bucharest

A recently renovated building from Bucharest, Romania served as a secret CIA jail, for six detainees, according to the former CIA official Kyle D. Foggo, the American newspaper The New York Times writes.

Bucahrest was one of the capital cities that hosted CIA prisons as early as 2005, but the information was denied by Bucharest authorities.

In March 2003, two CIA officials wanted Foggo's help in building secret prisons to hold some of the world’s most threatening terrorists, the U.S. daily informs.

Mr. Foggo, nicknamed Dusty, was known inside the agency as a cigar-waving, bourbon-drinking operator. Foggo, who lead the Frankfurt supply base was known due to his ability to supply transportation, food, weapons or food fast and anywhere in the world, which CIA needed. Foggo declared that he agreed to help the CIA and that he was proud to be able to help his country.
