Firm 鈥榬ecovered鈥 kids

Italian police said on Thursday they have busted an international ring of former special forces agents hired to “recover” children in custody battles who were spirited across borders by one of their parents. Palermo police said three Italians and a Ukrainian were arrested in Italy on kidnapping charges, and warrants were issued for two Norwegians and a Swede in Tunisia.

Police said the investigation involves a Norwegian firm, APB World Group Ltd, which allegedly charged thousands of euros to recover children whisked out of countries by a parent who had lost a custody battle. Parents desperate to recover a child were turning to ABP World rather than pursue official channel.
