OK.
It was the night 14/15 september.
Me and my friends were having a small party under Caen castle. We were celebrating the end of our french lessons.
There was, by my (female polish) friend, K., a Moroccan, M., so I spoke with him a bit in arabic.
Later on, another arabic-looking person sat next to her, and I've heard him saying his name is Momo (Mahmoud?).
My italian friend, S., told me there's a guy speaking arabic here, and pointed in one direction. There were a couple of people there, including M., as well as a big guy who might have been this Momo and might have not been him. I got to the point he is talking about M., so I told him I know and I've already talked with him.
Meanwhile, I drank a bottle of wine.
My polish friend, as well as M. probably, went to a disco.
All of the sudden there was a movement and I got to know that S. was robbed. At first I thought he simply lost his money, then I got to know the story: he left his bag for a while, as he was coming back to it he saw a couple of men (including the one he got to know that speaks arabic and of whom he thought that it was the guy that was talking with me) taking stuff from his bag. He told them to leave him his documents and take his money, but they ignored him. He tried to call police, but they hit him and ran away. Only one person saw this exactly, another Italian. He told him not to ran after them, for they will beat them up in a dark alley - there were a couple of them, and only two of Italians at the moment.
I think it was a mistake, they should've been running and screaming "police, police" or whatever.
At this point, I came next to him and asked what has happened. He doesn't talk english, and only a very little bit french.
He told me that it was the guy who I were talking to that has stolen the money. But I learned it wasn't him, because the agressor was large, while M. not at all.
He claimed the agressor was sitting next to K., but now I doubt he ment it. I don't recall it exactly, but probably it was the way that he told me it was the person with whom I was talking in arabic, I told him he was sitting next to K., and if that's the one, and he told yes - probably just to confirm that it was the one with whom I've been talking with. But that gave me false impression that while it was not S., it must have been the other person I didn't know who used to sit next to her - Momo.
Anyway, we found gendarmerie (he wouldn't have found it without me I'm afraid). I had to do the talking, but the guy there wasn't very pleasant, he told me to go to the comissariat and switched off. I had to phone again and ask where is it. But then, S. called police by phone and gave me the phone. I wasn't prepared for it and got very nervous. I didn't know what's the name of the streat and had difficulty finding it. It was horrible. I've heard him say that I talk very poor french
(he was right 
)
Anyway, they got there and we told what's happened. S. told them it was the guy with whom I've been talking arabic, but I told them it's impossible, because S. has also said that he was tall, while the guy with whom I was talking is short.
Now I should have called my mum, which is a juridistic translator of both french and italian, but I was drunk, sleepless, tired...
Anyway, I told them Silvio also told me that this guy was sitting next to my friend, and it might have been a one whom I've heard saying his name is Momo.
We were driving around the car in the police car, but with no effect.
We came back. I've asked M. if he knew this arabic group, he said no. And I believe him, for he's shown up earlier and seems to have been with K. all the time.
I don't know this Momo, perhaps it was the guy, but most likely not. I hope I haven't caused trouble for him unnecessarily.
S. was told to come to the comissariat. Unlike they should, they haven't provided him with a translator, though they knew he doesn't speak french. he should've come with someone. i couldn't come, because I was leaving at 7:52.
When I was coming back with M., he told me I look jewish
S. lost 150 euros and his documents, which could have been a serious problem, because he was flying to Italy the next day. But they've told him they will give him some temporary documents. He only had his driving license left.
