French police probe fake Disneyland ‘marriage’ with nine-year-old

  • A staged wedding involving a nine-year-old Ukrainian girl at Disneyland Paris on Saturday morning triggered a police investigation.

  • Staff alerted authorities after noticing the girl in elaborate high heels who struggled to stand, raising suspicions of an illegal child marriage.
  • Four people, including the 22-year-old British groom and the girl's mother, were arrested, and the groom was charged with fraud, money laundering, and identity theft.
  • Medical examinations found no violence against the girl, and authorities said she was not forced to act as bride, while the investigation and questioning continue.
