A day after Shmuel Peleg, Eitan Biran's grandfather on his mother's side, who lost his family in the cable car disaster in Italy - was accused of kidnapping him, the grandfather's family in Israel issued a statement today (Sunday) welcoming the boy's return to Israel and denying it was abduction.
In a statement, it was written that "the beloved Eitan returned after losing his entire family, as his parents wanted. Immediately upon his arrival, Eitan was in intensive medical care by a senior medical staff at the hospital.
Eitan was brought to Israel in a way that fulfilled his parents' will.
He was not abducted and nothing unfounded or similar.
He is in the arms of the family wrapped in love and warmth as he deserves.
Beyond that, it is not possible to detail at the moment due to the advertising orders resulting from being a minor. "
Less than a day after landing in Israel with his grandfather, the legal saga began within Eitan Biran's family whose parents and younger brother were killed in the cable car disaster in Italy more than 3 months ago.
Eitan Biran landed in Israel on Saturday night, the Foreign Ministry confirmed on Tuesday, and it was reported that the affair is under investigation and the authorities are handling the matter.
"When Eitan landed in Israel and saw the whole family waiting for him at the airport he screamed with joy. Now his task is to take care of him both physically and mentally and take care of him in a warm and loving home. We did not kidnap him, we brought him home. We fulfilled his parents' spiritual will" she said Yesterday, Gali Peleg, Eitan's aunt and the mother's sister, the late Tal.
After landing in Israel, a member of the father's family, the late Amit Biran, arrived at the police station yesterday and filed a complaint against Grandpa Shmuel Peleg, Tal's father.
Yesterday, Aya Biran, the sister of the late father Amit, was interviewed by the Italian media and told about the affair and the chain of events. She claims, "Yesterday another tragic event took place in Eitan's life.
His maternal grandfather came, as planned, to take him for a walk and spend quality time together.
Eitan went out dressed in summer clothes and said goodbye to my daughters, his cousins.
He said that when he returned he would bring them presents, as he was going with his maternal grandfather to a toy store.
He also asked when he would be able to use his new computer.
In short, a grandparents' visit is completely normal, as have all the visits in recent months. "
"But Eitan did not return home," the sister of the father, who lives in Italy, added. "His cousins were waiting for him for dinner and he did not show up. They did not understand why he did not return. I can't keep quiet, because I have to speak for him. "
She also claimed that "the city of Fabia has always been Eitan's home. This is the place where he spent all his life with his parents. It is not clear to me how Israeli doctors can perform a medical examination on a child without any medical documents and without any background material from the doctors who treated Eitan since 23. May to date. It is not clear how Eitan managed to enter Israel even though the Israeli authorities were aware of the problem with the passport. "Among them is his psychologist who treated and managed his mental crisis in a very professional and gentle way."
"How can he be uprooted from family members he had for his parents?", The nurse said, "I am not Eitan's mother and I will never be able to be. But I am there for him. "Working with the Italian authorities to ensure Eitan's return home, to us," she said.
On Saturday evening, it was reported in the Jewish community in Milan that Shmuel Peleg, Eitan Biran's grandfather, had come to pick up Eitan as part of an arrangement established by the Italian court.
When they did not return home, Aya Biran, his aunt and who is defined by the Italian authorities as Eitan's guardian, began to understand that something suspicious was happening.
The family's lawyers later said that a WhatsApp message had been received which read: "Ethan has returned home."
The grandfather, Shmuel Peleg, took Eitan's passport from the home of the late Tal and Amit Biran, according to Italy.
Ethan started his school year in Italy this month at the Catholic school in Fabia, and he had two assistants who helped him walk with the treadmill following his serious accident.
