Overview

• Business Insider published Danish and legal documents that add context to the ongoing Hamburg trial, in which prosecutors allege Christina Block commissioned a New Year’s Eve 2023/24 abduction that she denies.
• The Sønderborg Family Court ruled on February 17, 2023 that the father’s non-return was unlawful but stopped a physical return, ordering supervised contact for Block instead.
• A planned supervised meeting for April 21, 2023 was canceled after security concerns tied to a man identified as “Uzi M.,” yet an internal police memo states officers did not advise calling off the visit.
• Hensel’s partner told police two days before the scheduled meeting that the calls from “Uzi M.” had ceased and he had never appeared, according to the reporting.
• An April 28, 2023 email shows Block denying she hired any journalist and pledging a legal path to contact, while a February 2024 lawyer note records an alleged June 1, 2023 proposal from Hensel’s lawyer to waive a return order and buy a house in Denmark in exchange for access; the lawyer did not respond to inquiries.
