As Fraud At Swiss Portugal Embassy Alleged Doctor To Tweak Questions Amid Facetime Calls

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 25 –   Guillaume Jacquety is suing to take his daughter back from the United States to Morocco. There is a lawsuit, and there was a settlement conference on June 4, citing the Hague Convention.

But there are questions about Moroccan law, and a veil of secrecy.  Now there are objections to a doctor's questions, and his objections back.

 Geraldine Helena Tena Baptista "took the Child from her habitual residence in Morocco" to Switzerland, according to the Complaint - but then "fraudulently obtain[ed] altered Portuguese travel documents." There is reference to a radiologist in New York she was allegedly having an affair with. 

  This was allegedly done with the assistance of an employee at the Portuguese Embassy in Switzerland.

 In September, she submitted a declaration about her Moroccan cell phone, which was restored to factory settings and given away after even its WhatsApp function was cut off.

Now on November 23 Jacquety's lawyer has written to Judge Lehrburger to complain about the failure to respond to the questions of Dr. Peter J. Favaro "in advance of Dr. Favaro's interview with the child."

For his part, Dr. Favaro wrote that "as a result of the communications between the attorneys I be [sic] revisiting whether any interview with Ella would be worthwhile under the present conditions."

On November 25 Judge Lehrburger held another proceeding, and Inner City Press again covered it. This time focus turned to the specifics of Facetime calls and visits, and grandparents participating in one visit on or around December 25. Dr. Favaro will have to edit his questionnaire but can go forward. Third party monitoring of visits was discussed, as well as who should pay for it. The case proceeds.

The case is Jacquety v. Tena Baptista et al., 19-cv-9642 (Marrero / Lehrburger).
