Scandal in Hamburg: Christina Block in court for child abduction!
On July 10, 2025, the eagerly awaited kidnapping trial against Christina Block and several people involved began at the Hamburg Regional Court. Christina Block, the daughter of the well-known “Block House” founder Eugen Block, is accused of kidnapping her two children from their father's care. In addition to her, five other people are accused, including her partner Gerhard Delling. Delling, known as a former sports presenter, is accused of complicity in the kidnapping. Both defendants firmly deny the allegations and emphasize their innocence, which is valid until a final conviction according to the presumption of innocence. Eugen Block, who is in the public eye as the family patriarch, is not part of the proceedings, which will continue in the coming months with a total of 37 trial days until Christmas 2025. The outcome remains uncertain, which is already attracting great media interest. Stern reports that...
What is behind these allegations? The indictment relates to an alarming night in January 2024 when Kristina Block and a security contractor allegedly ordered the children to be forcibly removed from their custodial father in Denmark. The children were put under pressure and dragged into a vehicle while the father was attacked.

Delling is said to have organized the journey there and coordinated the children's return to Hamburg. RND reports that...

A central aspect of this matter is the legal framework surrounding custody. The right of residence determination, which both parents are entitled to after a divorce, can lead to legal disputes in the event of conflicts between the parents. The father of the kidnapped child lives in Denmark, while Christina Block has had to fight for custody with her divorced husband for years. An amicable solution is crucial in such cases, but conflicts can often have serious consequences. Hasselbach law firm explains that...
In the context of child abduction, it becomes clear that such acts are punishable under the German Criminal Code (§ 235 StGB) and can result in prison sentences or fines. In the case of cross-border abductions, there are also international agreements such as the Hague Child Abduction Convention that require faster legal action.
In this explosive case, the court already felt a noticeable tension on the first day of the hearing. While the defense relies on possible counterarguments and brings up the role of the deceased grandmother as a possible client, the prosecution remains optimistic that the evidence will be sufficient to support the charge. The next few weeks and months will show how the evidence and arguments in the courtroom develop.
