Amy Winehouse was interrogated Tuesday about the video in which she allegedly smoked crack cocaine, police confirmed to PEOPLE Wednesday.

Winehouse, 24, was not arrested and no charges were filed, but London police told PEOPLE that "inquires into the matter are continuing." (While it is police procedure to keep private the names of suspects who have not been placed under arrest, a police spokesman read out the statement when asked about the singer).

The meeting with police comes after the British tabloid The Sun ran stills from the video on Jan. 22. The images show the singer smoking a pipe which the newspaper claimed contained crack. The paper later handed the video over to police.

There is no indication whether the episode will affect Winehouse's request for a visa from the U.S. Embassy in London. The Back to Black singer, who received six Grammy nominations, hopes to attend the Feb. 10 awards ceremony in Los Angeles.

The troubled singer entered rehab not long after the tape became public. According to the BBC, she has been undergoing treatment at the Capio Nightingale clinic in north London since Jan. 24.
