Hamburg Prosecutors Face Scrutiny Over Block-Delling Case
The Hamburg Public Prosecutor's Office faces scrutiny over its handling of a case involving Christina Block and Gerhard Delling. Both have denied charges of attempting to discredit Block's ex-husband and his lawyer by accusing them of child pornography.
The prosecutor's office maintains it has acted correctly, asserting no errors in its handling of the case. However, internal documents suggest otherwise. These documents reveal that the office believed the accusations had no substance and ignored potential evidence for weeks.
Adding to the intrigue, an unusual closeness has been observed between the prosecutor's office and a lawyer, Dr. David Rieks. Rieks stood near the prosecutor's office and was possibly connected to the Block case. He is also the lawyer of Gerhard Delling, Block's partner. When approached for comment, Rieks declined to speak on the matter.
Block and Delling have both denied the charges against them.
The Hamburg Public Prosecutor's Office insists on the integrity of its actions, despite internal documents indicating otherwise. The unusual relationship between the office and lawyer Dr. David Rieks remains under scrutiny. Block and Delling continue to deny the allegations, as the case progresses.
