THREE doctors and a nurse have been arrested for allegedly selling babies after telling mothers their newborns had died at a private hospital in Mexico City.
Police uncovered the scheme after one of the women learned her baby was alive and had been sold to another woman for $1,100, said Luis Genaro, the capital's deputy attorney general.
The woman gave birth to a girl through Caesarean section at the Central West Hospital in a working-class district in October 2008, Mr Genaro said at a news conference.
The woman learned the truth from an e-mail sent to her by a man believed to be the son of the hospital director, Mr Genaro said.
