Scenarios that the father of 6-year-old Rainer Jason was the man behind his abduction have been confirmed.
The Norwegian boy's Greek lawyer Ms Patrinia-Maria Adamopoulou received a letter from the father's lawyers in Norway stating that the 6-year-old is in a safe place with his father in his home country.
What the mother's lawyers said
According to the mother's lawyer, Christos Ikonomakis, the woman's attempts to contact the Norwegian father of her child remained fruitless as she is in a legal battle with him over custody of the child. Mr. Ikonomakis refers to a pre-planned and abduction of the child that puts his life at risk.
"We have sent documents to the lawyers representing the father both in Greece and in Norway, without having received any substantial response, while we and the mother have tried to contact the father by phone, but he has not responded. His phone is switched off. The same is happening with the father's environment," Mr. Ikonomakis said.
"Help find my child"
At the same time, the child's mother through her audio message appeals to everyone to find her son. "My name is Nina Etmetzoglou, I am the mother of Rainer who was snatched from our home last night by a hooded man. I want to make a plea for you to help us find my child. He's already 19 hours away from me and we don't know where he is. I make an appeal to whoever has done this act please return him to our home for the sake of my child," the woman said.
What the father's side says
"The mother has committed kidnapping and was illegally keeping the child in Greece," the father's lawyer noted. "The case I handled is a child abduction case under the Hague Convention. The first decisions that have come out - the trial court and the appellate court - say that the mother unlawfully kept the child in Greece. In other words, she has indeed committed abduction, but the court is not ordering the return of the child to Norway, because life there would be unbearable. There is a Hague Convention which is about child abduction. According to it, if there is an abduction, the return of the child is ordered, unless the court considers that the return of the child to the place from which he was abducted would make his life unbearable."
"The court held that these conditions are met which allow the Greek court not to order the immediate return of the child. In the appeal that the father has filed with the Supreme Court, he says that the court of appeal applied the Hague Convention incorrectly," she added.
"So this case that I handled and the one that is pending is not a custody case, but the application of the Hague Convention on child abduction," she told protothema.b]The Greek mother and the Norwegian father[/B]
The case is not the first time that the authorities are concerned about the kidnapping, as the couple has caused other times the publicity both here and in Norway, where they lived for a few years. The two have also been in the courtrooms many times with neither of them, as it seems, not paying any attention to the decisions.
In fact, in September 2021, the father of 6-year-old Ricky Pedersen had also accused his ex-wife of kidnapping their child , at a time when a decision by the Norwegian courts had granted him custody. As he accused her, the woman went so far as to forge his signature in order to get a passport for the child and bring him to Greece.
According to the nettavisen.no report, Pedersen came to Greece last April in order to start all the procedures to get his child back. In Norway, the mother is accused of kidnapping and their son is wanted internationally. "I am very worried about him. If I don't take him home, I don't know what to do," said Ricky Pedersen in the interview, who has had the daily care and responsibility for their son since he separated from his Greek wife in 2018.
At the same time, the mother had moved to another Norwegian city of Sørlandet to study. However, the conflict between them continued and in the summer of 2020, the mother, according to the publication, illegally transferred her child to Greece.
As Ricky Pedersen accuses his ex-wife, in order to get her son out of Norway, she managed to get the Norwegian police to issue a passport to her child, without his knowledge. She had forged his signature. So the passport instead of being sent to the address he had specified ended up in her hands.
Ricky Pedersen after this act of kidnapping continued to pursue her in court and as a result the Norwegian court awarded him sole parental responsibility. With this decision, the police had begun an international search for the child.
