BERLIN (AFP) — A 56-year-old German living in Paraguay is seeking to become the legal father of 1,000 foreign children so they can have German nationality, education and social benefits, Der Speigel reports in its edition to appear on Monday.

Jurgen Hass, a former local leader of the liberal Free Democrats party, told the weekly magazine he intended to exploit grey areas in Germany's paternity law to do so.

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 recognise a child when the mother agrees and no other man claims to be the father.

He's not going to raise them himself. He's going to get the BRD to pay for them.

Not bad...although his publicity stunt will have the effect of legislators pouncing upon this legal hole.

He already was, and this is his revenge:

Mr Hass, a former insurance salesman who lives in Paraguay on a £700-a-month pension, said he wanted to help the impoverished children to lead better lives, but that his main motivation was to exact revenge on the state.
Mr Hass, a former local politician for the Free Democratic party, was sentenced to three years in prison in 1987 for fraud. The 56-year-old claims he was wrongly imprisoned and "treated worse than a dog" while in jail. He still professes his innocence.

He is a nut.
