After the children were allegedly kidnapped, the girl and boy are back with their father.
A court decided that.
The “Block House” heiress is stunned.
Munich – The custody dispute between Christina Block, the “Block House” heiress, and her ex-husband has escalated.
Their children, aged ten and 13, are said to have been kidnapped from Denmark on New Year's Eve.
A little later they were in the care of their mother.
Now the heir to the restaurant chain has spoken out.
After suspected kidnapping: Children are back in Denmark – Christina Block is stunned
The boy and the girl are now staying with their father in Denmark again, as the Danish police announced.
The Hanseatic Higher Regional Court (OLG) had issued an interim order.
“This emergency measure is based on the assessment that a return of the children to their father would currently best suit the children’s best interests,” the court said in a statement.
“I would never have thought that my children would be taken to the father who had previously illegally withheld the children without being heard,” the Hamburg entrepreneur described to
Bild
.
“The courts have clearly ruled that he has to return them.
And he never followed through.”
After the children were found with their mother, the youth welfare office and an LKA officer examined the children, it said.
The children were fine.
However, the youth welfare office was no longer involved before the higher regional court's decision.
“Child abduction was successful”: Kubicki comments on the kidnapping drama
“It is completely unclear to me how a Danish court, and above all the Hamburg Higher Regional Court, can make a decision without even hearing the youth welfare office, the supplementary carer or the children.
As a result, the child abduction was successful,” the newspaper quoted Bundestag Vice President Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP).

Block and her ex-husband have been in court over custody for years.
After the divorce, the children are said to have regularly visited their father in Denmark.
At the end of August 2021, he picked up the children and ultimately kept them with him.
The Hamburg Higher Regional Court then transferred the right of residence determination to the mother alone.
At that time the father was obliged to return the children.
