Answer: But as I told you, I have a problem refuting the identification. I hope they will confront her with me. Maybe she'll hear something through him, I don't know, maybe she... The items I wore, she would say it wasn't me. And I have physical signs. Go find out. A bigger guy. I do not know. They keep saying that the most she remembered was someone with ear hair. They were constantly looking for someone old. What am I to blame for having protruding hairs? A lot of people have ear hairs. But when it connects, it connects. You understand?

Voiced: She looks under her age, ...?
Answer: I don't know. I only see faces.
The transcript shows that the respondent denied to the informant what was attributed to him and even expressed a desire to confront the complainant. However, a number of statements by the respondent aroused some suspicion against him, mainly his answer to the question of whether he was a Russian or Israeli girl and that he saw "only a face". In addition, it appears that the respondent has hair protruding from his ears and he confirms that pornographic tapes were collected from his home.
According to the affidavit written by the informant, he was under the impression that he had acquired the Respondent's trust. According to the informant, the respondent told him about the interrogation and told him that "at the beginning there were good interrogators who said that it was actually the victim [the rapist – Y.A.] who behaved nicely to the girl. And I thought I'd admit it because it's just Pozzi Muzzi but my mom didn't want me to admit it [Thus in the original – Y.A.]." This transcript of the informant distorts the words and contradicts the transcription of the conversation, from which it clearly emerges That the informant He was the one who said to the respondent, "You should finish it, Thorns, it's a matter of condition, or a fine..."
- In the afternoon of the same day, the respondent was taken for further questioning, this time by Sergeant Major Effi Desta [in parentheses: it is not clear why Sergeant Desta found it necessary to conduct an interrogation and fill out a memorandum, instead of collecting an orderly notice from the respondent]. Desta wrote in the memorandum that the respondent said that he had nothing to add, that he would decide only after speaking with a lawyer, and was answered by Sergeant Major Desta "that it is not subject to negotiations, he must provide detailed and correct details about what was asked in the interrogation." Later it was written that the respondent was asked what he was afraid of and why he was denying, and in the answer, according to what was stated in the Memorandum of Understanding, the respondent answered "Who would believe me that this is the first time?". The interrogator replied that he believed him, and then, according to the interrogator, the respondent "answered unexpectedly with such a panic, I don't say if I just say that it was like that and he gave in and fell silent again."
At this stage, the respondent was brought in for the first extension of detention.
