(ANSA) - TEL AVIV, 23 SEPT - "I want to see Eitan at home".
These are the words of Aja Biran, the aunt of the child who survived the Mottarone tragedy, at the entrance to the TelAviv court where the first hearing of the lawsuit she initiated to bring the child back to Italy takes place this morning.
"I'm worried about him, I want to bring him home as soon as possible," added Aja Biran visibly excited.
Just before Biran arrived Eitan's maternal grandmother, Etty Peleg Cohen, and her daughter Gali Peleg who recently announced that she wanted to adopt Eitan. In the courtroom there is also Shmuel Peleg, maternal grandfather who brought the little boy to Israel and is under investigation in Pavia for aggravated kidnapping of a person.
The judge allowed only ShmuelPeleg and Aja Biran to be present in the courtroom, the rest of the family were evicted.
The hearing takes place behind closed doors.
