4 arrested in Italy in alleged child kidnapping ring

A Ukrainian woman and three Italian men belonging to what Italian media Friday are calling a child kidnapping ring were arrested in Italy on charges of belonging to a criminal organization. dpa reported that arrest warrants were also issued for two Norwegians and a Swede. All are believed to be employees of Scandinavian firm ABP World Group, which offers services in international child custody conflict and missing children. According to the reports, charges against the people involved include human trafficking, kidnapping and child abduction, the reports say. Martin Waage, chief executive of security firm ABP World Group, rejected the media reports.
