Overview
- Investigators have re-examined Grand Elysée surveillance and sent the video to the Hamburg court, a prosecutor’s spokeswoman confirmed.
- The footage described in reports shows Christina Block entering the hotel, returning with a white bag, then leaving without it, which investigators say fits the alleged meeting timeline.
- Two alleged operatives, David Barkay and Keren Tennenbaum, testified that Block handed over a bag with a sweater, a teddy bear and a blanket to calm the children.
- Block denies ordering any abduction or meeting the men, and her lawyer says the defense will challenge the videos and other documents.
- Key testimony from Israeli defendants and witnesses is on hold because of the Iran war, and the court plans to hear a police officer next.
