What does this case has to do with Israel? Nothing was stated in the DW articel
The state of Israel itself is officially not involved in the Block case, as far as I know. It is just my guess going by ties to the security sector of Israel.
The whole Block case is a hot mess. Hanning is a member of the supervisory board of a security company that got hired. He did some “consulting” and hired other people and was involved in information gathering. He supposedly involved an Israeli security company. Ex-Mossad agents were hired. Supposedly two abduction attempts and the idea to plant CSAM on the ex-husband with the help of Israeli expertise.
Edit: Update due to a news article from SPIEGEL I just read - it’s likely Aserbaidjan.
