Now his son is telling the whole truth
The ex-chancellor is ill - he can not fight back. How should this end?
Many suspected that the second marriage of Helmut Kohl (82) is not lucky. But what really happens there, and how cruel and enigmatic his young wife Maike (48) behaves - we now hear first-hand from Kohl's son Peter (47).
In an interview he reveals: Actually, the former Chancellor Maike Richter did not want to marry. Peter Kohl: "He made a clear statement accordingly. Then came the accident and a loss of control ... "In plain English: Maike urged the marriage.
Helmut Kohl, who suffered a craniocerebral trauma in a fall in 2008 and is still struggling with the consequences, was not master of the situation. Even more shocking: The relationship with Maike is said to have started in the mid-90s, during the lifetime of Hannelore Kohl! Was she with a reason for the suicide of the popular chancellor's wife in 2001?
Peter Kohl reveals how Maike Richter distracted the Kohl family : "Already in 2004, our father told us that we would not celebrate Christmas together anymore. Instead, he drove with Maike to Sri Lanka. For the grandchildren it would have been important to be able to spend Christmas with the grandfather ... "
Peter Kohl confirms what everyone suspected: Maike Richter forbids him and his brother Walter (49) to see the father. Not even grandchildren are allowed to grandpa! Peter Kohl: "The police regulate access to my father, apparently according to a list on which we probably do not stand." Post may only go to Kohl's lawyer. How heartless!
This sad condition, he is obviously the fault of Maike Kohl-Richter. She adored the politician as a young girl, later got a job close to him. It's an unhealthy worship, yes, a kind of obsession. Peter Kohl describes Maike's old Berlin apartment as follows: "A kind of private Helmut Kohl Museum - everywhere pictures of him, framed letters. I felt a bit queasy ... "
He was also shocked that Maike wears jewelry and clothes of his dead mother - an incredible behavior. Maike is surrounded by a dark secret, her soul can only be understood by a psychiatrist. Tragic that a whole family breaks up in her.
