Hamburg Trial in Block Case Resumes With Corporate Witnesses

The proceedings unfold against a fresh Danish ruling that limits Christina Block’s contact with two children.

Overview

  • Two Block Group executives — the former chief executive and the finance chief — are scheduled to testify as witnesses at the Hamburg district court today.
  • Company founder Eugen Block says he will refuse to testify and has lodged a complaint alleging bias by the presiding judge.
  • A Danish appeals court this week confirmed a ban on contact between Christina Block and her two minor children, and TAG24 reports a Danish court granted the father sole custody.
  • The court is weighing how and when the two children might testify after an initial plan for a November 12 appearance was put in question.
  • Christina Block denies ordering an abduction during the 2023/24 New Year’s period, and her partner Gerhard Delling, charged with aiding, maintains he did nothing wrong.
