An Egyptian former teacher who took his daughter from her British mother more than seven years ago may have breached child abduction and perjury laws, a High Court Judge has said.
Tamer Salama took his daughter Elsa, then four, from ex-wife Naomi Button in December 2011 while all three were visiting his relatives in Egypt.
Ms Button, a leadership consultant from Leeds, was forced to return to England alone and thinks Elsa, now 12, has been living with Salama's mother in Egypt.

Salama, who subsequently returned to England without Elsa and is now living in Manchester, was jailed in January 2012 for breaching family court judges' orders to arrange his daughter's return to England
