Il sostituto procuratore della Repubblica Daniela Pischetola ha chiuso l’inchiesta che ha coinvolto l’associazione Airone di Albenga. Cinque nomi sono stati iscritti nel registro degli indagati: la presidente dell’associazione, Silvia La Scala, la vicepresidente Orietta Maini; la collaboratrice Inna Troukhan e i kirzighi Alexander Angelidi e Venera Zakirova. L’accusa è di associazione a delinquere finalizzata a truffa. «Siamo in attesa di conoscere la data della prima udienza, parteciperemo come parte offesa», spiega Pierfrancesco Torrisi, avvocato esperto in adozioni internazionali, che rappresenta una della coppie truffate, la prima a sporgere denuncia. «Queste persone risponderanno personalmente delle accuse, il sostituto procuratore non ha indagato solo il presidente in qualità di rappresentante legale», sottolinea Torrisi. «Ci sono troppe cose che non tornano e tutti sapevano. Non si tratta solo di essersi fidati della persona sbagliata».

Adoption or trafficking? Fears grow for Uganda's 'orphans'

Adoption or trafficking? Fears grow for Uganda's 'orphans'

Agence France-Presse on Oct 5, 2015 @ 5:04 AM

When Agatha Namusisi, 64, let her grandson leave Uganda for medical treatment abroad, she assumed he would return, but more than a year later she says he has disappeared.

"They are nowhere to be seen," Namusisi said of the seven-year old boy and his Ugandan carer who travelled together to the United States in May last year, after an Arizona-based Christian charity arranged for surgery to correct his crippling spinal deformity.

The case is just one example of international adoption gone wrong through misunderstanding, negligence or even criminality, a trend that has Ugandan lawmakers worried, with a 400 percent increase in orphans going to the US alone between 2006 and 2013.
