“Officers of the Investigation Service of the Ministry of Finance arrested seven persons on the fact of trafficking of minors,” the Investigation Service reported the information.
The detainees include the mother of the baby and two doctors of the medical facility — one of the detainees convicted of the same crime in recent years.
“The defendants found a person who wanted to buy a baby and demanded $ 13,000. To cover up the crime, the mother of the child registered under the surname of another person during pregnancy. The Investigation Service arrested all seven persons involved in the criminal scheme. The newborn baby is currently under the care of the State Care and Victim Support Agency for Victims of Trafficking,” the Investigation Service revealed.
The investigation is in progress under the third part of Article 143, subsection 2 of the Criminal Code of Georgia.
The crime is punishable by imprisonment from 14 to 17 years.
