Block custody dispute: Further search. On New Year's Eve, unknown people brought two children of Hamburg entrepreneur Christina Block from Denmark to Germany.

Investigators also looked for evidence at the Hotel Elysée, which belongs to the Block House Group, and at the company headquarters in Langenhorn. Christina Block and her ex-husband have been fighting in court for years over custody of the two younger of their four children. They have been living with their father in Denmark for more than two years, although the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court had provisionally transferred the right of residence to their mother in October 2021.
