A DNA test in Belgium on fifteen other suspected abducted children does not yield anything for the time being. &#8222;This painful story has completely ruined our lives, that of the biological parents and that of the children,&#8220; three of the five Belgian parents react.<\/p>\n<p>The probable central figure of the entire carousel, the investigation shows, is Julienne Mpemba (41), a Belgian-Congolese woman from Namur with contacts in the highest Congolese political circles and the Francophone Community. In old interviews she says that she has given some fifty Congolese children &#8222;a new future&#8220;. The federal public prosecutor suspects her of human trafficking with child victims.
