Co-defendant German former sports journalist Gerhard Delling (R) and his lawyer David Rieks wait for the continuation of the trial over alleged child abduction at the District Court in Hamburg, northern Germany, on April 20, 2026. The public prosecutor's office accuses Block, heiress of a steakhouse chain, of ordering the abduction of her daughter, born in 2010, and her son, born in 2013. According to the indictment, the background to this is an escalating custody dispute over many years between Block and her former husband, who have four children together.
