A woman was arrested and later deported after she allegedly sold her baby for £310 in the toilets of an airport.

The reported exchange happened in Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen airport and Turkish police have now released CCTV footage of the alleged incident.

In the video, the mother of the child, known only as Dinara A, gets out of a taxi at the entrance of the airport with her baby in a carrier, accompanied by her own mother.

The footage then cuts to a man and woman, who it is said had arrived at the airport with a red suitcase ready to complete the transaction. They are understood to be a Turkish-born German couple.

The two women are then alleged to have entered the toilet where the 22-year-old biological mother accepted 1,000 Turkish Liras (£310) for the child.



As reported by the Dogan News Agency, police say that the incident happened on September 14.

However, the ‘buyer’ reportedly couldn’t get through passport security with the newborn, so took the baby back to the toilets and notified police that it was there.

The biological mother, her mother, and her child were then deported from Turkey, while the German woman was questioned and then released.
