Maria was found in a Roma camp in Farsala, central Greece
DNA
tests have confirmed a Bulgarian Roma couple as the biological parents
of mystery child Maria, found in Greece last week, Bulgarian officials
say.
They identified the couple as Sasha Ruseva and Atanas Rusev.
The officials are investigating whether the mother had sold the child, a crime that could result in a jail sentence.
Maria was found at a Roma camp in central Greece. Police
noticed the lack of resemblance between the blonde girl and the adults
she was staying with.
The couple, Christos Salis and Eleftheria Dimopoulou, have
since been charged with child abduction. They have insisted the girl was
given to them legitimately.
Maria is currently being cared for by the Athens-based charity The Smile of the Child. There have been thousands of inquiries following an appeal to identify her.
Ms Ruseva has reportedly admitted giving up a baby in Greece four years ago, but said she received no money.
She is believed to have worked as an olive picker, deciding to give the child away because she was too poor to bring her up.
