Bursa child abduction and trafficking trial

Entities: Nazar S. · Erzurum · Burhan K. · Volkan K. · Bedriye Karaçay

Overview

In Bursa, a legal case is proceeding against Hanife Stief, who is accused of human trafficking and the unlawful confinement of her grandson, Nazar S. The boy, a German citizen, had been missing since 2019 and was located seven years later in a dilapidated house in Mustafakemalpaşa.

During the trial, Stief denied kidnapping charges, claiming she was acting as a caretaker and had used a different name to hide the child's identity. While the boy has since been reunited with his mother and moved to Germany, the judicial process continues. New evidence, including digital media from the defendant's phone, has been introduced to the case.

Recent developments in the proceedings have highlighted new video footage recovered from the grandmother's phone, which depicts the child's life during his period of confinement. Court records have confirmed the various videos and photos documenting the child's life while in captivity.
