Mia has been found and is "in good health," Nancy's prosecutor said at a press conference on Sunday (April 18th).
The 8-year-old had been kidnapped five days earlier in the Vosges, from his maternal grandmother's home.
Investigators have found his trace and that of his mother in a squat in Switzerland.
Five of his alleged kidnappers were brought before an examining magistrate with a view to their indictment for "kidnapping in an organized group of a 15-year-old minor".
A sixth suspect is being identified.
