Overview

• On day six, Christina Block invoked her right to silence regarding the private prosecutor’s questions, but the court ruled the lawyer may proceed with a written and read-out catalog that Block can choose to answer later.
• Judges issued multiple rulings upholding the admissibility of more than 100 questions from the private prosecutor and additional queries from defense teams, after lengthy interruptions and objections.
• A detained Israeli co-defendant began testifying for the first time, describing his recruitment by a security firm ahead of the New Year’s 2023/24 operation, with his statement to continue Thursday.
• Prosecutors charge Block with commissioning an operation that took two children from their father in Denmark to Germany; the children were returned to the father four days later by court order.
• A separate complaint reported against co-defendant Gerhard Delling alleges he helped spread unverified pedophilia claims, and authorities have not opened a child‑pornography investigation against the father.
