A British woman is to appear in court in Greece charged with abducting a baby girl.
The 41-year-old woman - who has not been named - is accused of snatching the baby from a teenage girl during negotiations to sell the child.
The 16-year-old Romanian girl, believed to be the baby's mother, told police her child was taken by the Briton last Tuesday as they discussed a price of 14,000 euros (£9,385) in Athens.
According to local reports the pair were shopping in a supermarket for food when it is claimed the woman snatched the infant and ran away.
The mother told police she decided to report the alleged abduction because the child's father did not know she had travelled to Greece to sell their baby.
The woman was arrested on the Greek island of Kefalonia on Friday after returning the baby girl to a local clinic.
Local police said the Briton told medical staff she was unable to care for the baby because of psychological problems.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a British national was arrested in Kefalonia yesterday following the abduction of a minor in Athens."
She added that the woman would be appearing before a public prosecutor in Athens on a charge relating to the alleged abduction.
