A Catholic nun has been charged with being part of a child stealing operation that ran over four decades in Spain.

Sister María Gómez Valbuena is the first person to be indicted in connection with the probe into more than 100 cases of babies snatched from hospitals between the 1950s and 1980s.

She was subpoenaed to testify before investigators recently but refused to answer questions, according to sources at the Madrid prosecutor’s office.
