Gardaí plan Romania trip to close file on missing child bride

GARDAÍ will travel to Romania within the next few weeks in a bid to close the file on a child bride whose disappearance sparked a major missing persons alert.

Detectives investigating the disappearance of the 12-year-old Roma child Violeta Rastas believe she was brought back to her native Romania shortly after walking out of a Dublin hospital.

But those heading the investigation want to speak to her in person to make sure she is safe and to close the missing persons file.
