Compensation for Russian baby swap families

TWO Russian families have each won €72,000 in compensation from a maternity home that accidently switched their 12-year-old daughters at birth.

They may use the money to house the girls next to each other.

The story has captivated Russia ever since the families learned recently about the switch after the former husband of Yuliya Belyayeva refused to support their daughter, Irina, because she did not look like him.
