A handful of Australian babies are being detained by Greek authorities after a fertility clinic was raided over claims of human trafficking and fraud.
Several distraught parents, whose babies were born through surrogates at the Mediterranean Fertility Institute in Crete, have been prevented from visiting and cuddling their newborns - let alone bringing them home.
Around eight babies – including a number of Australians – are being detained by the Greek government in a high-security section of a Crete hospital, according to The Australian.
Greek Police reportedly allege the clinic was a criminal organisation that exploited 169 foreign vulnerable women, forcing them to be egg donors or surrogates.
They also allegedly defrauded patients through sham embryo transfers and engaged in illegal adoptions.
The clinic's entire medical team have been arrested and imprisoned, accused of child trafficking.
The raid risks sparking a diplomatic incident, with the Australian Ambassador to Greece, Alison Duncan, calling it a 'grave situation' in several missives to the Greek government.
Ms Duncan noted her respect for the Greek legal process but urged the country's authorities to let the parents see their children.

Interesting. Had the babies been born in the US, they would be natural born US citizens.
And now that Greek authorities have arrested all the clinic staff, who is taking care of the moms and infants?
The ‘moms’ enter Greece alone (or with a cuck) and then try to leave carrying a baby.
Seems reasonable to raise some eyebrows.
No fire escape.
“No fire escape”
Europe doesn’t have them NY City style - instead you step out on a balcony and wait for rescue.
All Cretans are liars?
