The family of newborn Aimar, who was separated from his relatives at Basurto Hospital in Bilbao last Wednesday evening, plans to pursue legal measures aimed at securing a restraining order against the individual accused of the baby’s abduction. This step follows the arrest of the alleged abductor, who had previously been released on parole on Saturday after acknowledging the events, and who currently cannot approach the family while the restraining order is under consideration.
According to information provided to the press by the infant’s father, Pedro, the family intends to formally apply for the restraining order on Monday, seeking clear legal boundaries to prevent any contact or proximity that could endanger the child and his relatives. The move underscores the family’s focus on ensuring ongoing safety as the case progresses through the judicial process.
The suspect, aged 24, was released that same Saturday night without any precautionary restrictions, as determined by the Bilbao court. During the magistrate’s hearing, the defendant admitted the facts as presented and requested release to receive treatment at a psychiatric center, signaling an intent to address any alleged mental health issues.
In the court decree, the judge noted that there is sufficient evidence to support the charge of illegal detention, commonly referred to as kidnapping, and indicated that the investigation would continue under the appropriate jurisdiction to establish the full scope of the alleged crime. The judge also stated that there were no grounds to justify preventive detention at that time, arguing that the accused does not pose an immediate flight risk and that the alleged crime apparently occurred within a stable personal environment. The court reasoned that the condition of the case did not demonstrate an imminent threat that would justify keeping the suspect in custody pending further inquiry, given the information that has been gathered so far.
The incident unfolded around nine o’clock on Wednesday evening at Basurto Hospital, where the baby was allegedly removed from his family by a young woman who presented herself as a health worker at the facility. The sequence of events suggests a calculated act carried out under the guise of professional duty, complicating the family’s trust in hospital staff at the time.
The following Thursday morning, the baby was abandoned on a mat inside an apartment located in the Santutxu neighborhood. Neighbors discovered the child at approximately 8:30 in the morning, prompting immediate concern and a rapid response from local authorities.
Approximately two hours after the discovery, the woman involved reported to acquaintances and neighbors that she was pregnant, a claim that amplified the tension surrounding the case. She was subsequently apprehended in the Zorroza district of Bilbao, where she was found to have already acquired clothing and infant equipment, such as baby seats, indicating premeditation and preparation ahead of the incident.
The case has prompted ongoing police investigations and judicial scrutiny as authorities continue to piece together the sequence of events, verify the alleged details, and determine appropriate measures to protect the child and his family. The broader community has been urged to remain vigilant and to report any information that may aid investigators in understanding the motives and circumstances surrounding this brazen act, while ensuring the safety of the infant involved and his relatives throughout the legal process.
