The prominent lawyer Nicolai Dyhr, who has previously been a partner at the law firm Horten, has been fired. Both Børsen and Finans report that the termination is a result of statements made by Dyhr during some TV 2 recordings for an upcoming documentary. Nicolai Dyhr has confirmed his resignation to both media outlets and told Børsen that he has acted “unbelievably stupid” in his interactions with several people. “My actions as a curator are completely in line. I have performed my work conscientiously and thoroughly, and made an effort to deliver everything I could within the confines of the law,” Dyhr told the media.
According to Børsen, an informant from TV 2, pretending to be a lawyer, spoke with Dyhr and recommended him as a curator. The informant had two clients with them, one of whom allegedly previously played a central role in the gang grouping Brothas. Børsen writes that based on the recordings, one could get the impression that Dyhr could help hide problematic documents. The law firm Horten has subsequently reacted and terminated the collaboration with Nicolai Dyhr. “Nicolai Dyhr is leaving Horten as a direct consequence of a series of statements that TV 2 has recorded and subsequently informed Horten about. The statements in no way reflect how a lawyer and partner at Horten should behave, and Horten strongly distances itself from them,” said CEO Anders Bager Jensen from Horten to Finans.
The recordings of Nicolai Dyhr were reportedly taken with a hidden camera, as reported by Børsen. The plan is for the documentary to be aired on TV 2 from Tuesday, but before that, the Eastern High Court must decide whether an injunction should be imposed on the broadcast. Finans writes that it is the documentarian Mads Brügger who is behind the production. He has not wanted to comment to Finans until a decision has been made on whether the documentary can be shown.
