During her statement yesterday, she was assisted by a public defender.

She will go to court today.

The special circumstances of this case have made the Ertzaintza decide to exhaust the 72 hours of detention provided for by law, as specified by sources in the investigation.

Mireia detailed to the agents her health fluctuations over the last year.

She explained that she returned home a few months ago after spending time in the psychiatric unit of a Basque hospital.

There, as the same sources have specified to this newspaper, she began to think how she could get hold of a foreign baby.

And so it was that, in the summer, she began to spread the news that she was pregnant and that she was going to give birth on October 19, just the day Aimar was taken from the hospital, but that she was expecting a girl.

She was even finalizing the purchase of a baby stroller.

After taking the newborn from the room where he was with his parents dressed in a sanitary uniform and claiming that he was going to do the hearing tests, he spent part of the night through the streets of Bilbao taking pictures with the little one.

He uploaded the snapshots to her social networks, accompanying them with two messages: "He has already been born" and "He is already here," she wrote.

The alarm had jumped at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, when the alarm was raised to the Ertzaintza.

She there she lost track.

Mireia showed up at the woman's house for her, she told her to introduce her son.

There she took more photos with the child and continued uploading them to the internet.

Her acquaintance began to ask her questions about her time in the hospital and discharge after supposedly giving birth.

Her young woman's explanations did not add up to what he continued to question her until, the same sources indicated, Mireia ended up confessing the truth.

At that moment, they specify, the woman asked her to return Aimar and Mireia accepted.

However, instead of taking him back to the hospital, she left him on the doormat of a house, rang the bell and left.

The boy was able to return to his parents in perfect condition and later his kidnapper was detained in a square in her neighborhood while she was talking to another friend, who was the one who alerted her presence.

Aimar's kidnapping put the security system at the hospital in the pillory.

In fact, yesterday the father of the child,

, made it publicly clear that they were not duly informed of the protocol, active since 2014 for the attempted robbery of two babies in Donosti, which warns that they should always be with the baby.

He elaborated that neither when his daughter was born (more than three years ago) nor now they were informed.

The warning appears in the admission reports but the doctors do not verbalize it.

It is confirmed that Mireia entered three rooms before reaching Aimar's trying to take the newborns.
