An Orthodox Jewish mother has won a landmark hearing in the legal battle to bring her boys back to the UK after they were taken to Russia by her ex-husband last year.
Rachael Neustadt said she was “full of tears of relief” after the Moscow City Court ruled in her favour yesterday.
She has fought a nine-month battle to bring back Daniel and Jonathan, seven and five, after they were taken to Russia by Ilya Neustadt last December. She believed they were taking a two-week holiday to visit their Russian-born father’s family.
