23-year-old hostess from Treviso arrested abroad, concern is mounting. A young Italian, Ilaria DeRosawas stopped in recent days in Saudi Arabia. The Farnesina, while waiting to hear the charges that led to the arrest, is in contact with the Saudi authorities from which it has requested authorization for a consular visit to the prison and is awaiting a reply.
The Italian consulate general in Jeddah is also in contact with the young woman’s family and with the Saudi authorities to try to reach a positive solution to the matter.
Who is the arrested stewardess?
Ilaria De Rosa, 23, had gone missing on May 5, the date on which the family, who live in Resana (Treviso) had no longer been able to get in touch. The circumstance had therefore been reported to the carabinieri who had started the investigations.
Four days after the report, confirmation of the arrest of the young woman had arrived upon arrival at Jeddah airport (Saudi Arabia) of a scheduled flight of the Lithuanian company Avion Express, of which the young woman is employed. For her, the accusation seems to be that of possession of drugs.
With a clean record, Ilaria De Rosa graduated from a Treviso high school and then moved to Holland for some work experience before being hired as a flight attendant. After days of silence, it was her family who decided to report Ilaria’s disappearance to the Carabinieri of Castelfranco Veneto.
The discovery
Then the discovery: Ilaria De Rosa is in a prison in Saudi Arabia. The girl he hadn’t responded to family and friends for days. Only the intervention of the soldiers of the Arma, who got in touch with the Farnesina, made it possible to trace the young woman. A story with outlines still unclear
The young woman from Treviso is in prison for drug issues. Together with her, under arrest, other European boys, friends and colleagues. The incident would have occurred close to the end of Ramadan. During the holiday period they were taken to prison at least 5,000 people for alleged violations of the lawvery strict, of the Saudi country.
Few news leaked out on the matter, which the Italian embassy is also dealing with. The only element collected so far is a video in which the 23-year-old is seen leaving the hotel together with the three men, possibly policemen, and getting into a car. It seems a voluntary removal, but the conditional is a must since few details have yet been leaked from the Saudi country.
Uncensored, the young, but expert in her workhe would never have any problems at work or during his travels abroad.
The kidnapping alert
The girl – an employee of the Lithuanian company Avion Express – had been missing since May 5 last year. Since that day she had never heard from her family again, although her contacts were usually daily. The initial idea was that it was a kidnappingbut then it was the Saudi Arabian authorities who clarified that De Rosa is in prison.
A condition that immediately alerted Italy. The Arab laws they are in fact very severe and prison conditions have often been criticized by NGOs active in the field of human rights.
Ilaria De Rosa has a clean record and knows Jeddah very well, the destination of the Avion Express flight. As reported by the Corriere del Veneto, her cameras – according to what has been reconstructed so far – have filmed her in theSpectrum Residence Sultan hotelas he gets into a car with three men and, judging by the footage, he would have done it voluntarily.
Updates and fear
Meanwhile, the family members of the 23-year-old arrested a few weeks ago in Saudi Arabia on charges that appear to have to do with international drug trafficking are experiencing moments of understandable anguish. From what they learned, the girl, airline stewardess for the Lithuanian company ‘Avion Express’ had landed in Jeddah and was about to head to the Spectrum Residence Sultanbut she never got to the hotel.
As soon as she got off the plane and was picked up by the Arab police and brought in prison as part of an anti-drug operation involving several people. The Farnesina, while waiting to hear the charges that led to the arrest, is in contact with the Saudi authorities from which it has requested authorization for a consular visit to the prison and is awaiting a response.
The Italian Consulate General in Jeddah he is also in contact with the young woman’s family and with the Saudi authorities to try to reach a positive solution to the matter. It was the same family members who reported the disappearance to the carabinieri of Castelfranco Veneto, in the province of Treviso, worried by their daughter’s long silence. The girl’s mother lives in Resana, still in the Treviso area, while her father lives in the Netherlands.
It was from May 5th that her parents no longer had news of Ilaria, who used to send a message every day about her movements, especially when she arrived at her destination or left on a new flight. But Ilaria’s phone hasn’t been turned on since May 5th. The carabinieri, who had started the investigation, then received news of the arrest of the young woman upon arrival at Jeddah airport.
Dismay at what her daughter is experiencing was expressed by the mother who failed to understand the contours of the allegations made against Ilaria and how she could have become involved in this affair.
The young woman after having obtained the Diploma in Human Sciences at the ‘Duca Degli Abruzzì in Treviso, she had chosen to leave Italy, moving to Germany where she stayed for a short time during which she worked as a hostess for the airline Neos.
After leaving Germany he moved to Maastricht where she completed her studies at the international school United World College, before being hired by the Lithuanian Avipon Express. Anyone who knows Ilaria assures that she “is a person far from the world of drugs”, furthermore there is no trace of crimes with her name in the criminal record.
