It was only when the stewardess arrived at the police station that she realized she had been arrested. The first interrogation in English would have taken place 5 days after the blitz and on that occasion she would have decisively denied any type of charge regarding the consumption or possession of drugs and the consumption of alcoholic beverages. At the end of the interrogation, then, according to reports, Ilaria De Rosa would have found herself signing a document in Arabic of which she said she was unaware of the content.
