In 2006 Marie Golby, now 53, took the six-month-old daughter of a Romanian gypsy from Athens to the island of Kefalonia, pretending the child was her former partner's. She was charged with procuring and abetting an illicit adoption but returned to the UK before a trial could take place in 2010. In December she was shocked to learn she was still facing extradition to Greece as she believed the case was closed more than eight years ago. However, it emerged in court in the UK that the charges against Golby, of Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, were never dropped. Westminster magistrates heard that in 2017 a trial was held in Greece in Golby's absence and sentenced her to eight years in prison.
