Report: Second child abduction story emerges for 60 Minutes

60 Minutes has another child abduction story, this time by reporter Liz Hayes in Turkey and Greece, that it has not yet aired.

Fairfax reports the 2014 recovery involved the mother and child fleeing on a speedboat to Greece. The woman is understood to have become involved with 60 Minutes when she moved to leave Turkey with the child.

The father immediately returned to Australia and launched court action alleging his child had been kidnapped and should be returned to Turkey.

Liz Hayes and a crew from 60 Minutes were documenting the case as it unfolded.

The father said he did not have any knowledge of 60 Minutes‘ involvement but was very surprised that his wife seemed to have plenty of money to finance the child’s removal to Australia and a boat with which to escape to Greece.

He said he had been falsely represented as being a violent person.

The case is now the subject of an alleged child abduction case the Family Court which has dragged on for more than a year.

“The story is not going to air because of the issues with the Family Court,” a Nine spokesperson told Fairfax.

Meanwhile it’s emerged Andrew O’Keefe also had footage inspected by authorities whilst leaving Lebanon, several weeks before 60 Minutes, filming as a guest of the United Nations.
