UPDATED: Fears British toddler missing in Marbella has been ‘abducted by Russian mother to her country’

THE disappearance of a three-year-old British boy in Marbella is now being treated as a suspected case of child abduction, police sources told the Olive Press.

Investigators believe the childโ€™s Russian mother may have taken him to her home country despite being barred from leaving Spain.

Police sources said the woman had temporary custody of the boy, but was under a court order not to leave Spanish territory.

The child, named Oliver, was last seen on July 4. His father reported him missing over a month later, filing a complaint at Marbellaโ€™s police station on August 7.

Authorities continue to appeal for information and urge anyone who may have seen the boy to contact 091, the National Police hotline, or 116000, the European missing children helpline.
