Secretary of State Schilly was informed by the CIA pretty early on and that was still under Chancellor Schröder, who opposed the war in Iraq and made a huge thing about that during his re-election campaign.
El-Masri claims that one of the interrogators in Afghanistan was a Federal Criminal Police Office (German version of the FBI) agent but that has never been proven. It's all hugely complicated, even more so because because El-Masri actually used to be member of an armed fundamental islamic group. Which still doesn't make ok what the CIA did to him.
According to the German wikipedia entry, the district court of Munic issued arrest warrants for the 13 CIA operatives who were involved in the kidnapping and the Federal Ministry of Justice made them into international warrants. Since then Spanish authorities have identified 10 of the agents and if they show up in any of the 186 countries that are members of Interpol (except for the U.S.) they might get arrested and extradited to Germany.
