Manfred Gnjidic is a lawyer in Germany. In 2004 he was employed by Khalid El-Masri, a German citizen who claims he was subjected to extraordinary rendition.[1] Gnjidic helped El-Masri launch a lawsuit against George Tenet and other Americans he alleges were involved in his rendition.

On December 8, 2005, following a meeting with Condoleezza Rice, the United States Secretary of State, German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced that Dr Rice had privately acknowledged that El-Masri had been captured and transported in error. Dr Rice then offered her account, that she had merely acknowledged that the United States had made some errors, without acknowledging that El-Masri's rendition was an instance of those errors.

Gjjidic has announced his intention to subpoena Merkel to testify in El-Masri's lawsuit.[2]
