Overview
- Der Tagesspiegel, citing Bild, reports a warrant for Jonathan Holvig C., a former Germany's Next Topmodel participant, in the abduction of Christina Block’s children.
- Witnesses quoted in the coverage allege he joined the grab team, struck the children’s father Stephan Hensel, and taped the children’s mouths before crossing from Denmark, later escaping a police dog bite during flight.
- He is reportedly registered at his mother’s address in Jerusalem and was last seen there in November, with neighbors saying he has since disappeared.
- At the Hamburg trial, a 68-year-old Israeli testified under safe-conduct that his team met Christina Block at the Grand Elysée on December 28, 2023, and received clothing and a teddy bear, while asserting violence was not intended.
- Block denies commissioning the operation and says an Israeli security firm was only tasked with checking hotel IT security, as the court schedules further questioning of the key witness next week.
