The long interrogation of Silvia Romano, the Milanese cooperative kidnapped in Kenya in 2018 and released yesterday after a complicated operation by Italian intelligence, begins at the Ros barracks.
The 24-year-old now has the task of counting 17 months in prison between Kenya and Somalia to the prosecutor of the Rome prosecutor Sergio Colaiocco and to the anti-terrorism of the carabinieri, who in recent months have carried out the investigations.
During the interrogation, which lasted almost 4 hours, Romano tried to focus on the memories, from the day she was kidnapped by an armed gang in Kenya. There were eight of them, an action perhaps carried out on behalf of the militants of the Islamist group al Shabaab, to whom they later sold the girl after a long transfer trip to Somalia.
In these months, she said, she was frequently and always transferred to inhabited places and in the presence of the same jailers: “I moved with more than one jailer to at least four dens, which were inside the apartments in the villages. Armed and covered But they have always treated me well and I was free to move into the dens, which were supervised anyway. I have always been alone, I have not seen other women. ”
The dens, Silvia said, “were always reached on foot by walking for miles.”
On the rumors that she was forced to marry: “There was no marriage or relationship – she said – only respect. They assured me that they would not kill me and that was so, I did not suffer violence.”
The researchers reiterated the option to convert to Islam, in a completely “spontaneous and unforced” way: “It happened in the midst of captivity, when I asked to be able to read the Koran and was satisfied.”
“Thanks to my jailers, he explained, I also learned some Arabic. They explained their reasons and their culture to me. My conversion process has been slow in recent months.”
