The two girls who were taken to South America by opponents of vaccination are back in Germany.
According to SPIEGEL information, the legal guardians brought their two children home on Tuesday and Wednesday with scheduled flights from Paraguay via Madrid.
From the Foreign Office it was heard that the two children were doing well, but that they were severely traumatized by the kidnapping.
Therefore, since the return of the two children in Frankfurt a.
M. and Munich have been handled discreetly.
The girls have come a long way.
The internationally sought-after Anna and Andreas E. had left Germany with the children from their previous relationships in November 2021 without informing the other parent.
In a farewell letter, they indicated that they wanted to escape the corona measures in Germany, but no destination was mentioned.
The other parents then started a search operation and after about six months contacted the media in Paraguay.
When asked, Ingo Bott, Düsseldorf lawyer for the searching parents, confirmed the entry of the two girls: "The children have arrived safely in Germany." The E. couple are said to be currently still in Paraguay.
However, they had already announced through their lawyers that they wanted to return to Germany in order to "clarify all necessary family law issues."
