Four of the seven children
involved in the Angels and Demons probe into allegedly coerced
evidence of untrue parental abuse at Bibbiano near Reggio Emilia
on Tuesday returned to their natural families from foster homes.
The decision by the Bologna minors court was taken some time
ago, sources said.
Social workers are alleged to have coached and coerced kids
into saying their parents were abusing them so that they could
be entrusted to 'friendly' families for a profit, according to
police.
The case has gained headlines and sparked political rows with
the ruling 5-Star Movement (M5S) accusing the centre-left
Democratic Party (PD) of involvement in the alleged coercion
because the local mayor is PD.
The PD is suing the M5S for the allegations.
