After 600 days
Automatically saved draft
German ex-Bundesliga professional Claus Reitmaier can breathe a sigh of relief: his two children, who were abducted by his ex-wife around one and a half years ago, are back. The 35-year-old turned herself in on Friday.
Following their separation in 2021, their two children (aged eight and five) had lived mainly with 60-year-old Reitmaier in Mönchengladbach from September 2022. At the beginning of 2023, his ex-wife failed to return the children to her after visiting them, thereby breaking the custody agreement.
An arrest warrant was issued a month ago and the woman was searched for internationally. Now the search has come to an end. According to the police, Reitmaier's ex-wife handed herself in to the Mönchengladbach district court on Friday. The ex-professional, who played over 300 Bundesliga matches for VfL Wolfsburg and Borussia Mönchengladbach, among others, is relieved.
Reunion after 616 days
"It's done, all wanted ads can be deleted," Reitmaier wrote on Instagram. The children are safe, "thank you very much for your support", said the former keeper, who was able to see his offspring again after 616 days.
As reported by the Bild newspaper, the 35-year-old had also spent time in Austria in recent months while the two children were with their grandmother.
