May 12, 2020 The Milan Prosecutor's Office investigates for aggravated threats in relation to the insults received by Silvia Romano, the young cooperative kidnapped in Kenya on November 20, 2018 and released in Somalia last Saturday. The file is borne by unknown persons and is coordinated by the prosecutor Alberto Nobili. The house where the young woman returned yesterday after her imprisonment in Kenya was monitored all night and also this morning by police and carabinieri. A precautionary measure also taken in light of the numerous social insults. Already on Sunday, when he arrived in Italy, a hate campaign arose. This is why the Prefecture of Milan, the city where you live with your family, is considering protection measures. Now after the insults and even death threats (a leaflet was also found near the girl's home) related in particular to the conversion to Islam, which the girl gained during her imprisonment, the prosecutor Nobili opened an investigation.Al Shabaab on conversion: "He has seen a better world"
Silvia Romano has converted without constraints, "because she has certainly seen with her own eyes a better world than what she previously knew". Ali Dehere, spokesman for the terrorist group Al Shabaab, said in an interview with La Repubblica, in whose hands the young Italian worker remained 18 months. "As far as I know, Silvia Romano chose Islam because she understood the value of our religion after reading the Koran and praying", added the spokesman, excluding that the girl converted because of opportunism or because she was a victim of Stockholm syndrome .
