Overview
- A longtime neighbor told the Hamburg court Tuesday she saw “unmengen von Tüten” carried into Block’s house the day before the New Year’s abduction and found it dark the next night.
- The father’s lawyer argued the large shop shows Block knew the grab was coming, while the defense called the account thin and Block denied the scenes.
- The witness also described earlier moments she viewed as harsh parenting, including a son left crying outside without shoes, which Block called absurd.
- Judges said they still cannot hear key Israeli suspects in person because of the war and are waiting on the German embassy to set up possible video testimony.
- Block is charged with hiring an Israeli security firm to seize two of her children in Denmark in late 2023, a case with several co-defendants and a father who now has sole custody under a recent Danish ruling.
