History
Spanish term or phrase: acta de detención
Sus ojos azules brillaban, y me dio la sensación que él había vuelto a 1945, que su mente se había transportado y que confundía ese presente con su propio pasado. Con voz fuerte y un tono enérgico respondía cada pregunta que se le realizaba para confeccionar el acta de detención, faltaba que vistiera el uniforme de las SS para que la escena pudiera ser similar a una de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

{taking a statement}/ an interrogation

Explanation:
from what Catalina says, it sounds like this. When the police arrest anyone, they have to take a statement - an official document recording the suspected criminal's evidence.

But I feel that "interrogation" has stronger implications, more suitable in this context
