Herr Father

A 56-year-old German living in Paraguay is reportedly seeking to become the legal father of 1,000 foreign children so they can have German nationality, education and social benefits.

Jurgen Hass, a former local leader of the liberal Free Democrats (FDP) party, told the weekly magazine he intended to exploit grey areas in Germany's paternity law to do so, Der Speigel reported in its edition to appear on Monday.

He said he had already legally recognized 300 children in Paraguay, Romania, Hungary, Moldavia, Russia, Ukraine and India.

Hass told Der Spiegel he was "playing" with Germany's 1998 paternity law, which allows men to legally recognize a child when the mother agrees and no other man claims to be the father.
