Kenny said that Romulo spiritedly reported about Sison's arrest by Dutch authorities. She added that because the US government had a strong interest in going after "terrorists," Romulo was confident of US assistance to the Dutch government regarding Sison's prosecution. Nonetheless, after two weeks of detention, Sison was released by Dutch authorities for lack of evidence.
Masaya umano si Romulo bunsod ng pagkakahuli ng mga awtoridad ng The Netherlands kay Sison. Sinabi ni Kenny na dahil may malaking interes ang gubyernong US sa pagtugis sa mga "terorista", nananalig si Romulo na handang tulungan ng US ang gubyernong Dutch sa kaso laban kay Sison. Gayunpaman, makaraan ang dalawang linggong pagkakabilanggo ay pinalaya si Sison ng mga awtoridad ng The Netherlands dahil sa kawalan ng ebidensya.
