The drama about child abduction will soon have a happy ending. The couple who took the children to Paraguay against the will of their ex-partners also want to return.

On Thursday (local time), the German emigrant couple wanted for child abduction – the father of one girl and the mother of the other girl – turned themselves in to the police in Paraguay after negotiations with Schultheiss and Bott.
The couple is married to each other for the second time and emigrated to Paraguay with their two children last November without the consent of their respective ex-partners.
According to Bott, the couple also wants to return to Germany and “actively” face a German procedure there, which is located at the Essen public prosecutor’s office. This provides for the negotiated agreement between all parties involved. The prosecuting authority in the Ruhr area city must then decide whether the child abduction proceedings should be continued or discontinued.
