The girl, a scheduled stewardess for the Lithuanian company 'Avion Express', had landed in Jeddah and was about to head to the Spectrum Residence Sultan, but never arrived at the hotel. As soon as she got off the plane, she was picked up by Arab police and taken to prison as part of an anti-drug operation involving several people.

The Foreign Ministry, pending the knowledge of the charges that led to the arrest, is in contact with the Saudi authorities to whom it has requested authorization for a consular visit to prison and is awaiting a response. The Italian consulate general in Jeddah is also in contact with the family of the young woman and with the Saudi authorities to try to reach a positive solution to the matter.
