Overview
- Authorities said the two Israelis are suspected of taking part in removing two children from Denmark on New Year’s Eve 2023/24, and they had been the subject of international warrants since spring 2024.
- Before this step, prosecutors questioned the CEO of an Israeli security firm outside the main trial for four days, prompting a three-week pause so defense teams could review transcripts.
- The court plans to resume the trial on Wednesday, and the CEO is expected to testify in court, though the schedule is being kept confidential for security reasons.
- Operation leader David Barkay gave a statement exceeding 300 pages alleging that Christina Block and her lawyer Andreas C. commissioned the abduction, a claim Block disputes as she maintains the Israelis were engaged for IT security and acted without her authorization.
- Barkay turned over Signal chats, including a group called “Bring Kids Home” and a 30-page “Golden Ice #5” plan outlining surveillance and a potential 36-hour retrieval by a Delta team; prosecutors also note a 36-year-old Israeli co-defendant has confessed and identified other participants.
