Eya's mother left the France for the city of Rodbyhavn on Friday night. She then had only one idea in mind: "to recover Eya, take her in her arms and try to make sure that she can forget what happened and resume a normal life," explained earlier her lawyer on BFMTV, Me Mélanie Muridi.

Schooled in CM2, Eya was abducted Thursday morning while walking with her mother on the way to her school in Fontaine, a suburb of Grenoble. According to the prosecutor's office, the father "and a hooded accomplice" "gassed with tear gas the mother of the little girl" before seizing the child.

A kidnapping alert was triggered in the evening, before being lifted the next morning by the French authorities. In parallel, arrest warrants were issued and issued under a European arrest warrant. Police services across Europe then received reports from the father and girl. She was finally identified in the afternoon in Rodbyhavn, a town located a hundred kilometers south of Copenhagen. The investigation revealed that the two men left the France through Switzerland to join Germany and then Denmark.

Eya is "as well as possible after such events"

On Friday around 14:30 p.m., Danish police arrested the alleged kidnappers, the girl's father, a 53-year-old Swedish-Tunisian man and his accomplice. "According to the messages I received, it was a border control and it went very well," said Eric Vaillant interviewed by our colleagues of BFMTV. Eya was immediately able to be "safeguarded". She is "as well as possible after such events," the magistrate noted.

For the rest of the investigation, the handover of the suspects to the French authorities could take "from a few days to several weeks". "This may vary, depending on the position of the defendants, if they agree to be handed over to the French authorities or if they decide to seek remedies in Denmark." The two men will have to answer the many questions of the French justice, a judicial investigation having been opened in particular for aggravated violence on the mother as well as for abduction by ascendant and complicity.
