Tried but “serene”, the cooperative returned free after 18 months in prison in Somalia, listening for almost 4 hours at the Ros barracks on via Salaria, in Rome, in the presence of the file’s prosecutor Sergio Colaiocco. A long investigation and in which the investigator maintains the strictest confidentiality. The girl crossed the barracks entrance around 3 in the afternoon from the Ciampino airport.

“They have always treated me well” “They assured me that they would not kill me and that was the case, I did not suffer violence,” explained the girl, who later said that she often changed places of prison. “Transfers were often done. They always took me to inhabited places, they never tied me up, I changed four lairs. They locked me in the living rooms, I was always alone, I didn’t see other women.” Covi said, Silvia, “you could always walk on foot for miles.” Silvia explained to investigators that she had always been with the same jailers. “They were armed and covered, but they have always treated me well and I was free to move inside the lairs, which were supervised anyway,” he specified.

“I learned Arabic, the conversion was slow” Silvia then addressed the chapter related to her conversion to Islam. “In recent months they gave me a Koran and thanks to my jailers I also learned some Arabic. They explained their reasons and their culture to me. My conversion process has been slow in recent months.” A spontaneous choice, he reiterated, not linked to marriage with a jailer: “There was no marriage or relationship, only respect.”
