A new case of buying a baby has been revealed after the arrest of a man, aged 53, and a woman, aged 48, in the Athens district of Ano Liosia, who are charged with taking a newborn girl from a gypsy woman in Zephiri, Attica, in March 2013, paying 4,000 euro for her.

In particular, the department dealing with minors had called the man and the woman from Ano Liosia while investigating reports of a Greek family at whose house there is a baby (girl), without them being her biological parents.

As is clear from the investigation of the information, this March, in the area of ​​Zephiri,  a baby (girl) born on 25 February 2013 was taken from a gypsy woman by another Roma woman, paying her the sum of 4,000 euro.

Immediately after that, the woman, aged 48, tried to "declare", in the municipality of Philli, the baby as her own child, but failed.

Since then, the baby has been living with them and the Greek couple has been trying to find a way to "legalize" her. The man and the woman allegedly proceeded to buy the baby because they had no children.

By oral prosecutor’s order, the girl has been taken to the Children's Hospital for tests.

Both Greeks have been arrested and will face the Athens prosecutor today while the investigation to identify and apprehend the baby’s biological mother and dealers is underway.
