Mother of Abducted Infant Santiago to Be Extradited to France

The premature baby was taken from a Paris hospital and found in Amsterdam; the mother faces expedited legal proceedings.

Santiago, a premature infant, was abducted from a Paris hospital by his parents on October 21 and found in Amsterdam four days later.
The mother of Santiago is currently detained in the Netherlands and is set to be extradited to France next week following an expedited legal process.
The father has chosen a longer legal procedure, with his extradition hearing scheduled for a later date, yet to be determined.
Both parents have been in Dutch custody since their arrest, and the baby remains in a neonatal care facility in the Netherlands.
The case exemplifies successful international judicial cooperation within the EU, involving authorities from France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
