France seeks conspiracy theorist over child abduction
AFP, STRASBOURG, France
French prosecutors on Tuesday announced an international arrest warrant for a leading figure in conspiracy circles who is suspected of helping to organize the kidnapping of an eight-year-old girl that gripped the nation last week.
The girl, identified as Mia, was found on Sunday with her 28-year-old mother, Lola Montemaggi, by police in Switzerland, following an intense five-day search after she was taken from her grandmother’s home in Poulieres, eastern France.
Five men, as well as Montemaggi, have been detained over the abduction, which saw three of the men pose as child welfare officials to convince the grandmother to hand over Mia.
