Brisbane mother Sally Faulkner has been reunited with her family in Australia, a spokeswoman for the Nine Network has confirmed.
The mother-of-three arrived in Sydney late on Friday night robbed of custodial rights for her two children in Lebanon after an attempt to abduct them in Beirut failed and led to her and a 60 Minutes crew spending a fortnight in prison.
On Sunday night, the Channel Nine program will feature Ms Faulkner and reporter Tara Brown reuniting with their families in Australia - but will not focus on the events of the past two weeks. 
The recap will play "a small part" in Sunday night's program, a Nine spokeswoman said.
It comes as Ms Faulkner made her Facebook profile public again, posting photos of herself and the two children she left behind with estranged husband Ali Elamine in Lebanon, as friends wished her well.
She also has a baby and a partner living in Australia.
"Welcome back gorgeous, so proud of you," wrote Ms Faulkner's friend Stephanie Adams online.
In Lebanon, Ms Faulkner relinquished the custodial rights to her two children in exchange for abduction charges against her being dropped after a botched recovery mission landed her and the 60 Minutes crew in jail.
It has also emerged that one of the operatives likely to have appeared in the 60 Minutes story is a self-confessed former "hard drug" user, court documents reveal.
The revelations have raised further questions about the vetting of the people hired to execute the sensitive recovery of the two young children in Beirut.
One of the men detained along with former Australian soldier and Child Abduction Recovery International (CARI) head Adam Whittington in connection with the attempt to snatch the children is Cyprus tattooist Craig Michael.
Mr Michael snatched his own child while in the company of Mr Whittington in Poland.
Both Mr Michael and Mr Whittington remain in detention in Beirut. Documents obtained by The Sun-Herald reveal that in 2010, Mr Michael made startling admissions as he argued against paying child support.
In an affidavit written to support his claim, he reveals he was "not in a position to work because I have been a user of hard drugs for several years".
He also states: "I suffer from serious mental problems that cause amongst others lack of mnemonic, panic attacks and confusion."
Mr Michael said he managed to live with dignity with his then partner Marta Swinarska only because of his "father's love and support who sends us money from England from the pension he receives there as a retired police officer".
He has since separated from Swinarska with whom he had a custody dispute.
The affidavit sworn and signed in the Limassol Family Court in Cyprus also reveals Mr Michael was in a "terrible financial situation" and feared being arrested and detained by police for failing to pay maintenance.
Efforts to contact Mr Michael's father have been unsuccessful.
A woman believed to be a relative who runs a florist business in Britain said she was aware of the Lebanon situation but did not want to discuss it.
Mr Michael's frank description of his situation appears at odds with Mr Whittington's claims about his operatives on the CARI website.
"All our operatives have served operational worldwide with elite military special forces and served in special police units around the world.
"We have the experience to bring your children home safely," it states.
Mr Whittington's enlisting of Mr Michael may not have been what 60 Minutes was expecting when it became involved in negotiating to film the recovery.
But an online search on Mr Michael's name would have brought up an article in one of Britain's biggest selling tabloids about his 2015 boast of having snatched his own child from his former partner in Poland.
The article spells out his background is in tattooing, and its only reference to law enforcement is that he once trained as a "store detective".
Channel Nine has refused to answer questions about the operation, citing a proposed internal review.
Two Dutch women who were alleged to be associated with the case have also been released.
The Netherlands government has confirmed it provided consular assistance to two Dutch women to leave the country around the time of the bungled abduction, according to a journalist in the Netherlands who made inquiries about the two mystery women.
