The story of Ilaria De Rosa, the 23-year-old line stewardess from Treviso for a Lithuanian airline (Avion Express) which is in prison in Saudi Arabia. According to initial information, the young woman has been in a prison for about two weeks Jeddah, the second largest city in the country after the capital Riyadh. An intricate and thorny affair, which is currently using all forces diplomatic of the Italian State to understand what happened. The reason for which she is detained, in fact, has not yet been identified with certainty: “We are taking an interest in the case – explains the deputy of the Foreign Commission in Lega quota Dimitri Coin – but the information we get from Saudi Arabia is fragmentary and there hasn’t been any notification officer of the girl’s arrest. I am in contact with La Farnesina minute by minute and we are doing everything possible to be able to obtain more precise information. But it’s not easy, it takes time and patience to understand what happened. We are also in contact with the family and we are trying to resolve the situation as soon as possible.
The hypothesis of a raid and the mystery of the three men
The last known place where Ilaria has been sighted is the Spectrum Residence Prince Sultan, a large hotel in Jeddah. Security cameras at the facility caught her getting into her car with three people – who may possibly be policemen – probably Arabs. Who has viewed the video clips assures that it seems to do so voluntarily, without any constraint, but since then the Treviso has never returned to the Spectrum, leaving all her personal effects and no longer giving signals to the outside. Saudi Arabia has very strict laws on drug possession and makes no distinction between personal possession or dealing. In the last few hours, the hypothesis of one has also been circulating roundup of the forces of law and order that brought several people to prison. Ilaria De Rosa may also have been involved in the raid, but she has no precedent in this sense and that she may have been the victim of a misunderstanding.
He knows Jeddah well
The parents, who were used to hearing it once a day, were obviously worried by raising the alarm and went to the carabinieri Of Castelfranco Veneto to report her missing, fearing a kidnapping. These are hours of anguish for the family, waiting for news on a case that threatens to turn into international intrigue. The aspect that leaves family members and acquaintances dumbfounded is that the flight attendant knows Jeddah very well, being a regular on flights to Saudi Arabia. He also knows them well Arab laws and for this very reason it seems impossible to family and friends that he has committed a levity in a country with such strict rules. News is expected, with the certainty that every effort is being made through diplomatic channels to arrive at a solution.
