The trial against Christina Block is about tape recordings of the weekly »Die Zeit«. The entrepreneur's daughter is concerned about whether the things she has told remain confidential.
The Hamburg Regional Court approved a search of the editorial rooms of the time. Interview recordings are intended to reveal new insights in the block process. Time and press associations speak of an attack on the freedom of the press. The article Searching the time arranged: Block process endangers press freedom appeared first on perspective.
The Hamburg Regional Court has had interviews with Christina Block's "Zeit" and her daughter secured. Lawyers criticise the court's actions, even the weekly newspaper does not want to accept this.
Ms. von Block's ex-husband should comment on the "Time" podcast. Recordings secured in the meantime. Could testimony take place in Denmark?
