Italian police in the city of Bibbiano, near Reggio Emilia, have arrested 18 people including the town mayor, Andrea Carletti, as well as doctors and social workers for an elaborate child sex trafficking ring where MK-Ultra types of brainwashing tactics were used to brainwash children in foster care into believing that their parents had sexually abused them, when in reality they had not. Others arrested as part of the alleged pedophile ring included politicians, doctors, social workers and psychologists. The children were electroshocked.

The children were sexually abused and sold for very large sums of money. The children came from poor families and then reportedly placed in wealthier foster homes for profit.

The children were taken from their homes under false pretenses, and then mind-control techniques were used on them to turn them against their families and apparently groom them to be sold into a pedophile network. Letters that the parents had written to their children were found in a warehouse.

Magistrates removed the children under the pretense of 'parental alienation syndrome'. One of the articles says that this has happened in other cities in Italy as well.
