Algiers criminal court, will start here on Sunday the trial of 13 people who are implicated in the kidnapping of an unspecified number of Algerian kids, to deport them towards France and Europe generally, where they are adopted for large sums of money.
A judicial source explained that security services dismantled in 2009 this dangerous cell, which was behind the disappearance of a significant number of kids, who were deported outward “with fake documents”, consisting mainly of Algerians and Frenchmen, which is active since the nineties in Algeria, but the investigation was unable to determine the number of the abducted kids.
The scandal was discovered and direct investigation started following the death of a young woman in 2009 after an abortion operation in a clinic in Ain Taya (Algiers), which belongs to a doctor, successor to the main suspect in this criminal file, as investigations revealed that the general doctor claimed to be an obstetrician, and helped his assistant, sister, for free pregnant single women until they gave birth, as he also used aborted fetuses, which were kept in a special solution and exported them abroad.
Investigations also revealed the involvement of notaries who were assigned to edit the “waiver documents” signed by single mothers.
Following a thorough investigation, security services were able to retrieve three kids from the home of a nanny, who was working in a shelter for kids in El Biar (Algiers), and discovered “12 Certificated of adoption”, which were edited between 2005 and 2006, where 9 children were deported illegally, and whose adoption was entrusted to other people for a sum of money.
Fake doctors were also implicated, as a French national was able to deport two kids of unknown father and mother to France, claiming that they are his sons, according to birth card.
For their part, said mothers who were involved in this case, said they were victims of threats and were forced to abandon their kids after giving birth, depending on counterfeited documents by a notary, to sell them to a family living in France.
