Gina, 5, Reunites With Mother in El Prat After Removal to Italy by Father

Her return followed the enforcement in Italy of a Catalan judge’s order recognizing the mother’s custody.

Overview

  • The family communicated the development via a support Instagram account created for the case.
  • Carabinieri located the child in Vitulazio on December 23 through the Sirene cooperation channel, and she remained under Italian custody until repatriation.
  • The mother’s legal team, with backing from El Prat’s town hall and community donations, secured execution of the Catalan resolution in Italy.
  • At the time of the disappearance, custody was assigned to the mother while the father had biweekly daytime visitation, prompting a judicial and police response.
  • Mossos investigators had flagged the father’s asset movements and potential flight plans; a separate trial on alleged insults and threats is scheduled for February.
