A Spanish couple has been arrested in Cyprus following allegations of kidnapping two Jordanian children, according to local authorities. The shocking case has drawn international attention as investigators work to uncover the details.
The suspects, whose identities have not been disclosed, were detained in the coastal city of Limassol after authorities received a tip-off. The children, believed to be siblings, were found unharmed and are now under the care of Cypriot social services.
