the little girl found in Denmark with her father and his accomplice

The case lasted a little over 24 hours. The public prosecutor of Grenoble announced, Friday, May 26, that Eya, the 10-year-old child kidnapped Thursday in Fontaine (Isère), had been found in Denmark with his father and his accomplice. Two European arrest warrants were issued on Friday against the two men.

Judicial information was opened in the afternoon, in particular for “aggravated violence” on the mother of the child as well as “subtraction by ascending” and complicity, said the prosecution. In the morning, the prosecution had lifted the kidnapping alert triggered Thursday evening.

The 10-year-old girl was kidnapped Thursday around 8:15 a.m. while she was walking with her mother in the street to get to her school in Fontaine, in the suburbs of Grenoble, where she is educated in CM2. According to the prosecution, the father “and a hooded accomplice” have “gassed with tear gas the mother of the little girl” before seizing Eya.
