Ten people are being tried at Marseille for trafficking babies; some for buying, some for selling. The sellers are accused of targeting childless couples in traveller camps and offering to supply new born babies, who are mainly those of their family in Romania. The couple accused of buying a baby, for 4500 euros, plus a BMW (despite a collection around all the other caravans on the site they could not raise the 10000 euros demanded) say they simply wanted to save the baby "from the poubelle".
The biological father and the go-between (his sister-in-law), who face up to 10 years in prison, seem to wonder what all the fuss is about. According to their lawyer they think "ce n'est pas trop grave".
