The third and final hearing at the Tel Aviv Family Court on the story of Eitan Biran, the little survivor of the Mottarone tragedy kidnapped and brought to Israel by his maternal grandfather Shmuel Peleg, under investigation, ended last night with a session of over 12 hours. in Italy for kidnapping.
"Now the lawyers - said Shmuel Moran, lawyer of Aya Biran Nirko, paternal aunt of the child who has her protection - will forward their final conclusions to the judge who will then have to go to sentence".
Judge Iris Ilotovich Segal has 2 weeks for the verdict - which moves within the framework of the Hague Convention on the abduction of minors -.
The last hearing, like the others, was behind closed doors. Numerous witnesses were heard, including an expert on Italian law.
Shortly before the session was concluded, the maternal grandmother Esther Cohen Peleg, Shmuel Peleg's ex-wife, also arrived in court, but she did not make any statements, limiting herself to comforting the ex-wife.
In recent days the woman had accused Italy: "You killed my loved ones, now you want to take away my nephew too".
Now the ball passes to the judge who, according to the Convention, will have to decide whether to send the child back to Italy immediately as requested by aunt Aya Biran Nirko.
