An Italian judge has ordered the arrest of 13 officers and operatives of the Central Intelligence Agency on charges that they seized an Egyptian cleric on a Milan street two years ago and flew him to Egypt for questioning, Italian prosecutors and investigators said Friday.

The Italian offices of Bank of America, auditors Deloitte & Touche and the former Italian affiliate of Grant Thornton were also charged with helping dairy group Parmalat mislead investors.

Under Italian law, companies can stand trial, facing possible fines or even enforced closure if found guilty. Two Deloitte partners and three Bank of America employees were also indicted as individuals.
