The Tel Aviv District Court rejected the appeal presented by Shmuel Peleg's lawyers against the first-degree sentence in favor of Aya Biran, the child's paternal aunt, the only survivor of the Mottarone tragedy last May.
The news was released by the lawyers of the Biran family, in a note which reads: "Eitan Biran has been kidnapped from Italy to Israel and must return to his usual place of residence in Italy".
According to what is learned, however, Eitan will not return to Italy for the moment.
The court verdict is in fact "suspended" in view of a possible appeal to the Supreme Court by Peleg, who has recently been hit by an arrest warrant .
The same practice was followed after the first instance sentence that had proved Aya Biran right.
