‘fact-finding hearing following the abduction of two boys, D J (8) and J (6). They were taken to Russia by their father, on Christmas Day 2012 and were only returned to the care of their mother, on 26 June 2014 after strenuous efforts by the authorities in England and in Russia. The father now seeks to resume contact with the boys and their younger brother M (2). The purpose of this hearing has been to establish the facts and to assess whether the father’s expressions of regret are genuine.’
