“I went yesterday to make sure that the brothers of the minor who are now in Germany are well taken care of by the Romanian state through the General Directorate of Social Assistance and Child Protection. Together with the director of DGASPC Gorj, I traveled yesterday to meet them. It is about a two-and-a-half-year-old minor and an eight-year-old minor. I talked to the foster carers. I was in the presence of psychologists. I made sure that they benefit and will continue to benefit from support from psychologists and that they are very well cared for.
It is a file instrumented by DIICOT. DIICOT was notified by the DGASPC, following a request from the National Authority for the Protection of Child Rights and Adoption, coming from the social protection authorities in Germany to provide more data regarding the situation of the minor in question in Romania”, said Natalia Intotero, Minister of the Family, live on Antena 3 CNN.
The DIICOT prosecutors have opened an investigation in this case and are trying to find out how the minor was taken out of the country, what documents were used for this transaction and with the involvement of which officials, because it would be a case of a false power of attorney.
At the same time, there are accusations that the little boy was sold by his father for the sum of 8,000 lei.
“There are several speculations in this regard. What I can tell you is that the state authorities, through DGASPC and DIICOT, reacted promptly and I want to thank those from DIICOT for their involvement, seriousness and professionalism.
Also, what I can tell you is that next week the president of the National Authority for the Protection of Children’s Rights will make an emergency trip to Germany where he will discuss with the German authorities with a view to the repatriation of the minor who now it is in their care”, said Natalia Intotero, Minister of the Family.
