There is zero evidence that she recanted her statement and the only source for that is a journalist who claims he recorded all of their conversations EXCEPT the one where she does a total 180 on decades of testimony both before and after
Here are racist tips to make your Italy or France trip kidnapping & crime free.
#1: A stranger says to you "Hey, where are you from?". This person is a giant piece of shit, all over the world. At best: they want to sell you something. At worst: they're distracting you to rob or kidnap you.
#2: Treat anyone with a clipboard as an enemy. These pieces of garbage hang out at the tourist spots, especially around the Eiffel Tower and Tower of Pisa. They're running variety of scams. They get close and touchy. The clipboard is to direct your attention away from both you and them so you can't see them reach into your purse.
#3: Purse & wallets in the front. My family was robbed within hours for not following this rule.
#4: No that stranger did not accidentally drop something on the ground. That was on purpose. At best: they want to guilt you into buying the thing they dropped. At worst: they rob you when you bend over to pick it up.
#5: Learn to spot gypsies and avoid them. Gypsies voluntarily live outside of the law. Your morals mean nothing to them, you're not 'helping disadvantaged people', you're aiding lifelong criminals.
#6: Stay in the tourist areas of big cities even though it costs more. My sister & her friend stayed in Marseille. The Airbnb host took one look at them and said: you girls can't stay here. The host was nice enough to help them book a safer place.
#7: Watch for people who don't fit in. We were walking home in Venice, followed by a Slavic looking man with a buzz cut (rare hairstyle for Italy). He followed us all the way to a dead end at 11pm in a sleepy district. We stared him down until he turned around and left. He was either planning on robbing, or wanting to check the locks on the door that evening or next day.
#8: The kids will rob you, too. French & Italian teens will ride the subway or walk popular promenades/sites for people to pickpocket. These are who robbed my family.
#9: All taxi drivers all around the world are subhuman garbage who want you dead. Do an Uber (or equivalent), or charter something with your Airbnb host or hotel. Or walk.
#10: No they don't want to help you with the subway fares. A popular scam in France is to "help" people confused at the ticket machine.
Libtards are especially vulnerable to the above because they think it's like the US. It's not. The third world of France & Italy need special treatment. My family laughed at me when I told them the above before our trip. Then they lost all their possessions.
So I've basically told you to avoid everyone in France and Italy. How do you meet people? Go somewhere where you have to pay: bar, restaurant, tours, coffee shop, anything. The cost of entrance to these places keeps out the trash humans. This lowers the chances of you getting robbed, but doesn't negate it completely.
Keep your back to the wall. Valuables in front of you. And monitor your credit card after you leave, because there will be fraud payments from Nigeria 2 months after you get home because they sold your CC info. That's just Europe.
Remember frens, racism is SAFE-ism.
