Arlene Lalande said that the role of the Iohannis family did not limit to driving and translations. The two Canadians were hosted for three months by Carmen and Klaus Iohannis, in their home, in the period they "negotiated" the purchase of the children.
Because it was a purchase indeed: Arlene Lalande also confirms that she gave money to the Iliuţă family to be able to leave from Romania with the three children.
