Embryo transfer

Emotional moments unfolded for a family in Heraklion, Crete, where a 55-year-old grandmother became a surrogate mother for her daughter, bringing a healthy baby boy into the world. This case is one of the rare occurrences in both Greece and worldwide.

Dozens of women have been summoned to testify in the Department of Organized Crime's preliminary investigation on the island of Crete after a request by the competent prosecutor in connection with the case of a fertility clinic in the city of Hania that may have operated as a front for an illegal adoption racket.

The case involved alleged IVF egg retrieval and embryo transfers.

At least 182 cases of exploitation of women since December 2022 in the field of egg retrieval and surrogacy and more than 400 cases of deception through sham in vitro fertilization (IVF) were detected at a fertility clinic on the island of Crete, according to police, who arrested eight people.
