Hamburg Trial Continues With Further Questioning of Father in Block Abduction Case

Prosecutors allege Christina Block ordered a cross-border seizure of her two younger children, a charge she denies.

Nebenkläger Stephan Hensel (r.), Vater der Block-Kinder, und sein Anwalt Philip von der Meden im Gerichtssaal.
Christina Block mit Partner Gerhard Delling (M.), der frühere Bundestagsvize Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP, o.l.), Ex-Regierungssprecher Béla Anda (u.l.), Ex-Außenminister Sigmar Gabriel (o.r.) und Ex-BND-Chef August Hanning.
Christina Block hat im Prozess bereits ausgesagt, doch es ist noch lange kein Ende in Sicht.
Jetzt geht es zum ersten Mal wirklich um Klara und Theodor. Eine Gutachterin wird gehört.

Overview

  • The Hamburg Regional Court plans to continue hearing testimony on Monday from Stephan Hensel, who appears as both co-plaintiff and witness.
  • Hensel previously told the court the children experienced domestic violence with their mother and said he was injured during the New Year’s incident, claims Block rejects while accusing him of manipulation.
  • Prosecutors say operatives from an Israeli security firm forcibly took the then 10- and 13-year-old from Denmark on New Year’s Eve 2023/24 and brought them to Germany.
  • A court ordered the children returned to their father in Denmark a few days after the alleged operation.
  • The dispute escalated after Hensel kept the children in August 2021, and a Hamburg appeals court later granted Block authority to determine their residence, a ruling not enforced in Denmark.
