An 11-year-old girl abducted by
her Syrian father in Milan last week has been tracked down by
Italian police in Denmark.
The girl had only recently returned to her Ecuadorian mother
in Italy after the father, Maher Balle, kidnapped her three
years ago and took her to Syria.
He took her away again on Friday after picking her up from
the middle school she attends without anyone suspecting
anything.
She was tracked down in Aarhus, Denmark's second city, via
the geolocation system on the phone she used to call her mother.
The girl is currently in a home in Denmark and is said to be
in a good condition.
Balle, 42, has been placed under investigation for
international abduction of a minor.
He also faces possible charges on this count in relation to
the previous abduction, in 2016.
