A Facebook page called "The Writing Investigator" has published (January 9) video footage of a synagogue tunnel in New York.
The footage also shows the moments of the arrest of several people in this synagogue, who are alleged to have been arrested on charges of child abduction and satanic rituals.
Hibrid.info has found and confirmed that the arrested persons are accused of obstructing government administration, reckless endangerment, and other criminal offenses, which proves that this website's claim is unfounded.

Hibrid.info researched the claims through search engines and found that they were handled by the Spanish-language fact-checker “maldita.es” (see here).
In the treatment of “maldita.es” this claim has been rejected based on an article in “The Guardian”, who have contacted the New York Police Department, from which they have clarified that the arrested persons have various charges for attempted criminal offense, attempted reckless endangerment, attempted hate crime, obstruction of state administration, criminal offense and reckless endangerment. But not for trafficking of minors or similar (see here).
Verification of these claims by hibrid.info was carried out due to the publication also in the Albanian language.

A Facebook page has published videos showing footage from a tunnel found in a synagogue, in which there were also arrested people, who are allegedly accused of child abduction and satanic rituals.
The same claims have been addressed by the Spanish-language fact-checker "maldita.es", who have confirmed that the arrested individuals are accused of obstructing government administration, reckless endangerment, and other criminal offenses.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info assesses this content as "Conspiracy Theory".
Reasoning:
"Conspiracy theories" are media reports that disseminate a false or unverifiable description of a phenomenon, event, or person, presenting it as part of or the result of a secret plan ("conspiracy"). A characteristic of these reports is that they present a series of claims, presented as facts, between which cause-effect relationships are established, without providing any credible evidence.
