这是一起备受德国关注的审判，一位富有的继承人已在法庭上坐了数月，此案引发了该国近年来最大的间谍丑闻。
It is a trial that has gripped Germany, with a wealthy heiress in the dock for months and a case that triggered the country's biggest espionage scandal in recent history.
克里斯蒂娜·布洛克是一家受欢迎的连锁牛排馆的继承人，她被指控指示一家以色列安保公司实施对其子女的暴力绑架，此前她与前夫在抚养权问题上展开激烈争夺。据称，此案与至少两名前德国和以色列特工有关联。
Christina Block, heir to a popular chain of steakhouses, is accused of ordering an Israeli security firm to carry out the violent abduction of her children from Denmark, following a bitter custody battle with her former husband. There are allegedly connections with at least two former secret agents, from Germany and Israel.
在案件的最新进展中，调查人员意外发现了一些证据，导致德国前情报总监奥古斯特·汉宁本月因叛国和间谍罪被捕。
In the latest twist, investigators in the case stumbled across evidence that has led to Germany's former intelligence chief, August Hanning, being arrested this month for treason and espionage.
汉宁的被捕震惊了情报界。尽管他的案件与汉堡审判无关，但他否认了涉及之前一次未遂绑架其子女的指控。
Hanning's arrest stunned the intelligence community. Although his case has nothing to do with the Hamburg trial, he has denied allegations of involvement in an earlier attempted abduction of the children.
去年七月，克里斯蒂娜·布洛克及另外六人在汉堡一处高度戒备的法庭出庭受审时，此案在德国引起了巨大的媒体关注。
There was enormous media interest in Germany when Christina Block and six others went on trial in a high-security courtroom in Hamburg in July last year.
布洛克餐厅专营牛排和烤土豆，是许多德国城镇的常见景象。过去半个世纪的成功使其父亲欧根·布洛克成为亿万富翁。
Block House restaurants, specialising in steak and baked potatoes, are a feature of many German towns. Their success over the past half century has helped make Christina Block's father Eugen a multimillionaire.
检方指控，她及其家庭律师安德烈亚斯·科斯特组织了对她两名子女的强行绑架，这两名子女当时正与她的前夫斯蒂芬·亨塞尔在其丹麦住所共处。
Prosecutors allege that she and a family lawyer, Andreas Costard, organised the forcible abduction of two of her children, who were staying with her former husband, Stephan Hensel, at his home in Denmark.
他们称，此次行动由一名36岁的以色列公民乔纳森·G（仅透露姓名）及另外五人实施。
They say the operation was carried out by a 36-year-old Israeli citizen named only as Jonathan G and five others.
根据起诉书，绑架发生在2023至2024年新年庆典期间，当时这两名子女及其父亲正在观看烟火表演。
The abduction took place during the New Year celebrations of 2023-24, as the two children and their father were watching a firework display, according to the indictment.
检方称，几名男子伏击并殴打斯蒂芬·亨塞尔，随后将当时10岁和13岁的男孩和女孩拖进了一辆汽车。
Prosecutors say several men ambushed and beat up Stephan Hensel, and dragged the boy and the girl, then 10 and 13 years old, into a car.
在接近德国边境时，他们被指控更换了车辆，用胶带封住了孩子们的嘴，并绑住了女孩的手。
On the approach to the border with Germany, they are alleged to have changed vehicles, taped up the children's mouths and tied the girl's hands.
随后，该团伙据称驾驶着一辆露营车前往巴登-符腾堡州。检方称，孩子们被非法关押在那里，直至2024年1月2日母亲到达接走他们，并将他们带回她在汉堡的住所。
The group are then said to have travelled on to Baden-Württemberg in a campervan. Prosecutors say the children were held there against their will until their mother arrived to pick them up on 2 January 2024 and took them to her home in Hamburg.
克里斯蒂娜·布洛克、安德烈亚斯·科斯塔德和乔纳森·G被指控绑架未成年人、造成重大身体伤害以及非法拘禁。
Christina Block, Andreas Costard and Jonathan G are charged with the abduction of minors, grievous bodily harm and unlawful detention.
布洛克的伴侣、前电视体育主持人格哈德·德林格以及另外三人被指控教唆和帮助犯罪。
Block's partner, a former TV sports presenter called Gerhard Delling, and three others are charged with aiding and abetting.
除乔纳森·G承认自己参与其中外，其他人均否认有罪。然而，他告诉法庭，他认为自己是在参与一次营救行动。
All of them deny wrongdoing, except for Jonathan G, who has admitted his involvement. However, he told the court he thought he was taking part in a rescue operation.
此次审判是在克里斯蒂娜·布洛克与前夫斯蒂芬·亨塞尔多年法律争夺之后进行的，双方争论谁有权照看孩子。
The trial comes after years of legal battles between Christina Block and her former husband, Stephan Hensel, over who had the right to look after the children.
两人分居后，四个孩子最初都与母亲一起住在汉堡。亨塞尔后来再婚，搬到了丹麦，孩子们会定期去看他。
Immediately after their separation, all four children lived with their mother in Hamburg. Hensel, who remarried, later moved to Denmark, where they regularly visited him.
2021年，两个最小的孩子去丹麦看望父亲，但随后未按约定返回汉堡。
In 2021, the two youngest children went to visit their father in Denmark, but then were not brought back to Hamburg as agreed.
汉堡法院裁定，克里斯蒂娜拥有监护权，孩子们应被送回。然而，2023年2月，丹麦法院裁定，尽管男孩和女孩被非法带到丹麦，但他们不能被带回。
A court in Hamburg ruled that Christina had custody and that the children should be returned. However, in February 2023, a Danish court ruled that, although the boy and the girl had been brought to Denmark unlawfully, they could not be taken back.
2023年5月，亨塞尔因绑架未成年人被起诉，该案目前仍在审理过程中。
In May 2023, Hensel was charged with the abduction of minors, in a case which is still pending.
他指控克里斯蒂娜对孩子实施暴力，而她予以否认。她告诉法庭，亨塞尔想报复她。
He has accused Christina of being violent with the children, charges she denies. She told the court Hensel wanted to take revenge on her.
她还否认知道任何关于从丹麦绑架孩子的计划。她的辩护方称，以色列安保团队是自行行动的。她告诉法庭这是一场“灾难”，并且她从未想要过这样的事情。
She also denied knowing anything about plans for the abduction of the children from Denmark. Her defence argues that the Israeli security team had acted on its own initiative. She told the court it was "a catastrophe" and that she had never wanted anything like that.
以色列安保团队负责人大卫·巴尔凯（David Barkay）未受审但将面临未来的法律程序，他告诉法庭克里斯蒂娜·布洛克（Christina Block）和科斯塔德（Costard）知道计划中的遣返行动。
The head of the Israeli security team, David Barkay, who is not on trial but faces future legal proceedings, told the court that Christina Block and Costard had known about the planned repatriation operation.
巴尔凯被另一名证人描述为以色列秘密情报局摩萨德（Mossad）的前特工，他说他没有透露所有细节，因为他“不信任他们”。他与德国前情报总监奥古斯特·汉宁（August Hanning）的所谓关联，涉及对2022年之前一次试图绑架儿童并将其从丹麦带回的企图的指控。
Barkay, who was described by another witness as a former agent with Mossad, the Israeli secret service, said he had not shared all the details because he "didn't trust them." The alleged connection with Germany's former spy chief, August Hanning, relates to accusations of an earlier attempt to abduct the children and bring them back from Denmark in 2022.
检方称汉宁负责安排被派往丹麦与克里斯蒂娜·布洛克一起的安保人员。他的律师否认这些指控。汉宁目前未因布洛克案件被起诉。
Prosecutors have said Hanning was responsible for arranging security staff sent to Denmark with Christina Block. His lawyer denies the accusations. Hanning has not been charged over the current Block court case.
然而，当调查人员搜查他的住所时，他们发现了证据，表明汉宁涉及从其前任幕僚长处购买约2000份文件，然后将国家机密泄露给外国势力。
However, while investigators were searching his home, they came across evidence to suggest Hanning was involved in buying some 2,000 documents from his former chief of staff and then passing on state secrets to foreign powers.
究竟是哪个外国势力以及他 allegedly 向谁泄露了机密尚未具体说明，但这引发了广泛猜测。
Which foreign power and who he is alleged to have given the secrets to is unspecified, but it has prompted widespread speculation.
现年80岁的汉宁目前被羁押，罪名是叛国间谍罪。他的律师称他正在被“不公正地迫害”，指控是“毫无根据的”。
Now 80, Hanning is in custody charged with treasonous espionage. His lawyer says he is being "unjustly persecuted" and that the charges are "unfounded".
与此同时，针对克里斯蒂娜·布洛克的审判目前暂停两周——这是过去15个月期间众多延期和延伸中的一次。
Meanwhile the trial against Christina Block is currently on hold for two weeks - one of numerous delays and extensions over the course of the past 15 months.
最新的延期是因为一名证人，斯蒂芬·亨塞尔（Stephan Hensel）的新妻子，未能出庭。
The latest delay is because a witness, Stephan Hensel's new wife, failed to appear in court.
