Overview
- Hamburg prosecutors confirmed they interviewed David Barkay and lifted his wanted status under safe conduct, warning the search will resume if he evades the case.
- WELT, citing a Bild report, says Barkay allegedly told investigators Christina Block knew of and ordered the operation, while Block denies any involvement and her lawyer plans a response.
- The trial is set to continue on Wednesday with testimony from Stephan Hensel’s new wife as a witness.
- Eugen Block expanded a supervisory complaint accusing the presiding judge of delaying a related case against Hensel and allowing an improper victim-party role that creates a conflict of interest.
- Court officials said such complaints do not halt proceedings and stressed the duty to move the case quickly because at least one co-defendant, Tal S., remains in custody after giving extensive statements.
