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. The latter kept the two youngest children with him in August 2021 after an agreed visit to Gravenstein in southern Denmark near the German border, where he had been living for some time.
