Overview
- Media citing interrogation protocols report that David Barkay told prosecutors Christina Block and family lawyer Andreas C. directed the operation and issued instructions through the lawyer.
- Barkay reportedly detailed cash payments totaling €220,000, with €150,000 and €50,000 allegedly delivered by Andreas C. and a further €20,000 handed over by Block.
- He is said to have described logistical support linked to the lawyer, including rooms above the lawyer’s office in Hamburg used by the team.
- Coverage identifies former model Jonathan C. as a new suspect under investigation, reportedly seen on Grand Elysée hotel surveillance and described by a co-defendant as later turning violent against Stephan Hensel.
- The main hearing is suspended until 10 December to review the new material, as Block’s defense criticizes prosecutors for taking the witness statement after the trial began without timely disclosure and maintains the presumption of innocence.
