PADUA. Romanian police tracked down the child Bogdan Hristache kidnapped in Padua on Tuesday. The little boy was with his father. The man, along with three accomplices, had stolen the child from his mother and fled in a van. At 8 pm this evening, the two were spotted on a train in a town on the border between Hungary and Romania. The child was placed under protection.
The kidnapping, prepared in great detail, is triggered on Tuesday morning shortly after 8. Alexandra goes out with the child to take him to the nursery school in Mortise. A black Mercedes Vito stops under the house, in via Salandra. Three men get out, one remains behind the wheel: two throw the mother to the ground and steal her mobile phone, a third, the father, takes the baby and takes him aboard the Vito. Then they flee at full speed.
The first track is at 8.34 when the B79CAR van is detected from the Plebiscito Vigodarzere passage on the Padua ring road. It is obvious to think that they are all still on board and that they are fleeing. The police are notified with a national and European alert.
A first report arrives on Tuesday afternoon. A truck driver reports that he spotted that black van at 5 pm in the Ikea parking lot in Villesse (Gorizia), a few kilometers from the state border: however, there is no one on board.
In reality, the report will prove to be inaccurate. It was not that van, but a similar one. The van with the B79CAR license plate was in fact found on Wednesday evening in Padua in via Martin Piva, in the industrial area of Limena. About ten kilometers from the place of the kidnapping.
Who is the kidnapping father
Bogdan Hristache comes from a Romanian family that was once nomadic, but which in some ways retains part of that lifestyle. A caravan, albeit with fine finishes and red carpet, is not lacking among the family properties.
Bogdan has six children, with four different companions, the last born not even a month ago. In Bucharest, he owns a company that produces large porcelain slabs, mostly used for floors. Wealth in the Hristache house seems not to be lacking. And you can see it clearly from the family residence: a mega three-storey villa that he often and gladly proposes on his social pages, perhaps with two or three expensive cars parked in front of it. The interior is a riot of gold, marble, precious carpets, velvet drapes, inlaid busts and gilded horse statues. Nothing to envy to the houses that we are used to seeing with the television series Gomorrah inspired by the novel by Roberto Saviano. Nothing to do with the simple but honest apartment in San Lazzaro, where David lived until a couple of days ago with his mother, grandmother and cousin. Yes, because behind all this pomp there is a family that has repeatedly had problems with justice. The same
Bogdan ended up in jail in the past. Among the most serious crimes that of September 2012. At the age of 22, together with his father, in the context of disagreements between families, he set fire to a car and stabbed a man.
