The story began in April. A couple of Dutch, 26 years each, pus married a year ago, answered an ad on the Internet. A Belgian mother 24 years and his 22-year offer to sell their second child. The Dutch couple, who can not have children, reportedly paid 5,000 to 10,000 euros for the child, according to Dutch media.
The Belgian couple had decided not to keep the baby because of financial problems, prosecutors said in Ghent, Belgium. The pregnancy was at an advanced stage, "abortion was no longer possible and parents came into contact via the Internet with a couple who wanted a child."
The Dutch couple says that the child was adopted. But prosecutors confirmed that a payment was made without specifying the amount.
The baby's mother had submitted on July 3 to motherhood with the health insurance card of the Netherlands. The latter reportedly said the day after the birth of the child for mayor of Ghent.
Ghent prosecutors opened an investigation against the Belgian couple for "assumption of children", ie the award to a woman whose child she is not the mother, crime punishable by five years in prison in Belgium.
Dutch side, the floor of Zwolle, north-east of the Netherlands, will also order a police investigation.
