A former CIA agent has lodged another appeal at Portugal’s Constitutional Court against her extradition to Italy to serve a four-year sentence for her part in the U.S. extraordinary renditions program, a court official said Thursday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in accordance with court rules, couldn’t say how long a court decision might take. If the panel can’t reach a unanimous decision on the appeal, it will go to a five-judge panel for a majority decision.
