Private Detective Testifies in Block Trial on 2022 Danish Surveillance

The testimony sharpens a dispute over whether earlier efforts were reconnaissance or a step toward abduction.

Overview

  • Kevin D., who testified Tuesday, said the firm 360 Grad recruited him in November 2022 to observe the children’s father in Denmark and map the kids’ routine so their mother could speak with them without force.
  • He said Danish police shut the operation within about an hour and briefly jailed the team, and he added that he never dealt directly with Christina Block.
  • The detective said he was paid €1,000 per day and recalled a contract worth about €36,000 with 360 Grad, and he described a folding knife in his kit as a work tool rather than a weapon.
  • Lawyers split over his account, with the victim’s side calling the “harmless” label implausible due to the team’s size and the blade, while Block’s defense said it showed no plan to use violence.
  • Following Monday’s dispute over Israeli driver Said B.’s credibility, the court set the next hearing for May 20, as the broader case alleges Block hired an Israeli firm to seize her children on New Year’s 2023/24, a charge she denies.
