Christina Block Again Denies Ordering New Year’s Child Transfer as Hamburg Court Upholds Use of Seized Phone Data

Her testimony also urged that her teenage daughter not be made to appear in public, with the case due to resume on October 7.

Overview

  • Judges reaffirmed an earlier ruling allowing prosecutors to use seized IT materials, rejecting fresh defense challenges focused on the legality of accessing Block’s phone.
  • Answering questions from the father’s lawyer, Block denied commissioning the cross‑border operation and disputed that a 2021 visit to her daughter’s Danish school was an abduction attempt.
  • She acknowledged giving her son a light slap and grabbing him on occasion but rejected allegations of violent behavior and accused her ex‑husband of misrepresenting events.
  • Coverage and testimony referenced an Israeli security firm’s role in the New Year’s transfer; Block discussed prior contacts with the firm Cyber Cupula and said she cannot exclude having spoken with the Israeli co‑defendant Tal S.
  • Parts of the session with the court‑appointed child psychologist proceeded outside public view, and Block asked the court to shield her daughter from a public appearance, with further hearings scheduled from October 7 into 2026.
