Overview

• Day 13 of the proceedings is scheduled with Stephan Hensel to be questioned again as a key witness and co-plaintiff.
• The previous session ended with the defense for a co-defendant signaling it would continue its examination of Hensel today.
• Defense lawyers focused on Hensel’s relationship with the children and their daily life in Denmark, prompting his attorney to accuse them of airing dirty laundry.
• Block is charged with ordering the 2023/24 removal of the children from Denmark to Germany, which she denies; Hensel says he was beaten during the incident.
• The children were brought to Germany in an operation reported to involve an Israeli security firm and were returned to their father within days by court order, against the backdrop of a custody ruling granting Block residence authority that was not enforced in Denmark.
