The 8-year-old boy who was smuggled into Spain from Morocco a few weeks ago in a suitcase has been reunited with his mother. The Ivorian named, Adou Ouattara was said to be in a "terrible state" when he was found last month in a bag without air vents at the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
The boy's father was reportedly arrested for arranging his son to be smuggled, but is due to be released on bail. The Moroccan woman who carried him in has also been detained.
The boy underwent DNA tests before the Spanish authorities would hand him over to his mother, who lives legally on Spain's Canary Islands.
"His mother cried. It's a very beautiful day," Maria Antonia Palomo, the Ceuta official in charge of juvenile affairs, told AFP. Officials have granted the boy a year to stay in Spain.
