Overview
- A security consultant testified that Eugen Block hired him in autumn 2021 to observe Stephan Hensel’s household in Denmark and to find negative information for the custody dispute.
- He said the surveillance was discovered almost immediately and described a failed attempt to see the children during a school visit with Gerhard Delling.
- According to the witness, Christina Block discussed a yacht pickup plan to bring the children to Germany, which he rejected; Delling was said to have offered to wait in Glücksburg.
- A Danish eyewitness recounted seeing hooded men, dark cars with lights off, and two children being forced into vehicles near Gråsten on New Year’s Eve 2023/24.
- Lawyers traded accusations over motive and credibility as the defense rejected claims that Block acted out of hatred; an Israeli co‑defendant has admitted involvement, the children were returned after four days, and hearings are scheduled into March 2026.
