No, this is not another thread about Catholic pedo rape camps. This is about cradle snatching and child trafficking.

The victims of a network of doctors and nurses who allegedly stole babies in Spanish hospitals and sold them for adoption today called on the country's attorney general to open an investigation.
The families of 261 babies who disappeared in Spanish hospitals over five decades presented their case to the attorney general's office in Madrid, including evidence from nurses and people who admitted illegally adopting babies.

What started as a system for taking children away from families deemed to be politically dangerous to the regime of General Francisco Franco became an illicit business that continued into the 1980s or later, a campaign group has claimed.

Doctors, nurses, nuns and priests are all suspected of forming part of an organised network that told mothers their children had died during, or straight after, birth. Campaigners said they believed many thousands of cases of stolen babies would eventually come to light.
"The father of a friend of mine admitted to him that both he and I had been bought from a priest and a nun from Zaragoza after being born in the Miguel Servet hospital," Antonio Barroso, who discovered four years ago that he was adopted, said.

DNA tests have proved that the people who raised him were not his real parents. Enrique Vila, a lawyer who represents the National Association of Irregular Adoptions, said: "There are cases that are accompanied by proof in the form of DNA tests and others that are simply mothers who suspect that their babies were stolen.

"We think it was an organised mafia which continued to operate even after the Francoist laws allowing the children of Republican mothers to be given away had been changed."

Oh well, the Islamo-mafia strong men in Kosovo kill people to trade their kidneys. The Catholo-mafia strong men in Spain leave their victims alive, to sell them whole. So I guess it could be worse.

It is well documented that in the immediate wake of Spain's 1936-39 civil war, babies and children were taken away from women who supported the government, or Republican side, that was defeated by the right wing forces of Gen. Francisco Franco. Investigating magistrate Baltasar Garzon has put the figure at 30,000.

But Mr. Vila said this politically motivated punishment eventually transformed purely into a moneymaking scheme that lasted well past Spain's return to democracy in 1978, three years after Franco's death, and until well into the 1990s.

Mr. Vila said there was more or less a nationwide network behind it, involving doctors, nurses, midwives, nuns and intermediaries that would find children for couples that wanted them.
“There were isolated groups but necessarily they had to know each other. When a woman found parents who wanted to adopt a baby, she knew what clinics to call all around Spain to get that child,” Mr. Vila told a news conference attended by hundreds of members of the ANADIR association.

Curse Franco. Curse the Catholic Church. Curse their mutual stranglehold over Spain.
