4 hrs confidence: 
provides brief information Explanation: The translation of the full sentence would be: "XXX born in ___, provided brief information...". Reference is made to the provisions of section 351 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, according to which, during an investigation, Police is to gather brief information from those knowing facts useful for the investigation |

22 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1made a brief statement Explanation: I'm no expert on court procedure, but witnesses either make statements which can be sworn or not or they are questioned under oath or not. Since there is no "historical present" tense in English, I usually translate minutes into the past tense, hence "made" and non "makes", but it is hardly crucial, more a question of style. |
