Overview

  • The Juzgado de Primera Instancia Nº 3 de Granada ordered Juana Rivas to hand her 11-year-old son Daniel to his father, Francesco Arcuri, on July 22 between 10:00 and 11:00 to enforce a February Italian custody ruling.
  • Appeals against the handover can be filed with the Audiencia de Granada but will not suspend the transfer under EU family law cooperation rules.
  • Minister Ana Redondo wrote to European commissioners and Minister Sira Rego requested Fiscalía intervention after receiving Daniel’s letter in which he says he is “terrified” and refuses to return.
  • Feminist platforms 25N and 8M have launched online petitions with thousands of signatures demanding that Daniel be heard and the handover be suspended in line with his best interests.
  • Francesco Arcuri faces an Italian criminal trial for alleged child abuse on September 18, prompting calls for civil enforcement to align with pending criminal proceedings.
