Premature Baby Santiago Found Safe in Amsterdam After Abduction

The newborn, taken by his parents from a French hospital, is now under medical care in the Netherlands as authorities plan their extradition to France.

Santiago, a 17-day-old premature baby, was taken by his parents from a hospital in Aulnay-sous-Bois, France, and found in an Amsterdam hotel four days later.
The parents, aged 23 and 25, were arrested in Amsterdam under European arrest warrants and are expected to be extradited to France.
The baby, who requires constant medical attention due to his premature birth, is reportedly in a stable condition and has been hospitalized in the Netherlands.
Authorities suspect the parents fled due to fears of losing custody, as a placement order was considered but not yet issued at the time of the abduction.
The case involved coordinated efforts between French, Belgian, and Dutch police, with key breakthroughs from phone data analysis leading to the family's location.
