The man, known as Abu Omar, was allegedly flown to Egypt and tortured.
The Americans were tried in absentia, in the first trial involving
extraordinary rendition, the CIA's practice of transferring suspects to
countries where torture is permitted.
The practice has been condemned by human rights groups as a violation of
international agreements.
The group of Americans - 22 of whom were CIA agents and one an Air Force
pilot - are believed to be living in the US and are unlikely to serve their
sentences.
Italy has never requested their extradition but they will be unable to
travel to Europe without risking arrest.
The group include the former station chief of CIA operations in Milan,
Robert Seldon Lady.
At the time, he said that his opposition to the proposal to kidnap the imam
was overruled.
The court upheld the sentences of the lower court which had sentenced all of
them to seven years in prison, apart from Seldon Lady, who was given a nine
-year sentence.
The Court of Cassation also ruled that five senior Italian secret service
agents - including the former head of the country's military intelligence
agency - should be tried for their role in the kidnapping.
Nicolo Pollari resigned over the affair in which Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr,
an Egyptian imam also known as Abu Omar, was snatched from a Milan street. | c******k
