The authorities did not even believe her, so I don't see why they would "plant" words in her mouth...
Anyway, there is no point arguing about this.
Because the ‘authorities’ are not a single person, factions within organizations often pull in different directions.
Will you at least concede the point that she’d been in Italy for less than 2 years?
To be clear: Violet Gibson was in no way Italian or connected in any meaningful way to Italy.
One might also observe that the violent attack in a foreign country might almost be ‘Imperialist’.
And if the attack was politically motivated (I personally think she was a few sandwiches short of a picnic), then she’s down for some political violence.
In that case she’s a bit more facist than anti-facist.
Not home grown.
