Overview
- Ilaria Salis, who was in Rome for the No Kings protest, said officers came to her hotel room early Saturday and stayed about an hour.
- The Questura said the visit was an act required by procedure after a foreign alert and after her name appeared in the Servizio Alloggiati hotel-guest system, with some outlets saying Germany was the source though that is not confirmed.
- Salis said police asked if she planned to join the march and whether she had dangerous items, and she said no written report was taken before they left.
- AVS leaders Angelo Bonelli and Nicola Fratoianni called the check an intimidation tactic and asked Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi to explain why it happened.
- Rome deployed more than 1,000 police for the protest following a recent explosion at Parco degli Acquedotti that investigators say involved two militants assembling an improvised device.
