The family of one of the boys convicted of murdering Ana Kriégel saw contempt proceedings against Facebook and Twitter adjourned by the Central Criminal Court until 22 November 2019.

Orders require the companies to remove identifying material brought to their attention, and both companies agreed to keep those orders in place until the hearing.
