Justice will be able to continue its investigation concerning the kidnapping of Santiago. Arrested in the Netherlands after having kidnapped her very premature baby in a hospital in Seine-Saint-Denis, the mother of the infant will in fact be handed over to the French authorities this Thursday, AFP learned on Wednesday from a source close to the case confirming a information from BFMTV.
Arrested in a hotel room in Amsterdam, the infant's parents were placed in pre-trial detention with a view to their extradition. Once transferred to France, the mother should be presented to an investigating judge in Bobigny for indictment, before possible placement in pre-trial detention.
Santiago is doing well
Little Santiago, 17 days old when he was kidnapped, was repatriated to France on October 31 by ambulance and is doing well, according to the same source. This very premature baby was taken by his parents aged 23 and 25 from the neonatology department of a hospital in Aulnay-sous-Bois. The baby, born eight weeks early, required constant care in an incubator.
At the end of four days of a race against time across three countries, the Dutch police arrested on October 25 in a hotel room in Amsterdam the two parents with their child, whose fragility raised fears for his life. life in the absence of hospital care.
Already several indictments
The Bobigny public prosecutor's office has so far remained very cautious about the reasons for the kidnapping but it is likely that the parents feared losing custody of their child and that he would be placed in care. On the day of the incident, they had an interview with the hospital teams.
In the context of this case, two men, a minor and an adult, were indicted for kidnapping and confinement of a minor under the age of 15 in an organized gang and temporarily incarcerated. They admitted to having accompanied the couple and the infant in their flight to Belgium.
