Overview
- Hamburg prosecutors are trying Christina Block on allegations she commissioned the New Year’s 2023/24 removal of her children from Denmark to Germany.
- Fugitive suspect Tzach K., 42, told Israel’s Channel 12 he was recruited by a former Mossad operative and believed the operation was a lawful rescue coordinated with German authorities.
- He said he drove the getaway car, the group rented vehicles using their own credit cards, and they later celebrated the outcome at a Hamburg hotel.
- The suspect claimed Christina Block joined the group afterward, a portrayal that contradicts her courtroom denial of any involvement.
- BILD reports a Munich lawyer contacted Hamburg prosecutors on K.’s behalf to offer cooperation, with an initial meeting planned next week, while a detained Israeli co‑defendant has also described the mission as a rescue.
