Museo, a nightclub in Copenhagen, has rejected any connection to money laundering and fraud as shown in the TV 2 documentary “The Black Swan.” In a press release, the nightclub and its ownership express their dissatisfaction and sadness over the way they are portrayed in the documentary, which they believe paints an inaccurate picture of them.
According to the nightclub, the documentary creates the impression that Museo and its owners are involved in illegal activities such as receiving false invoices and money laundering. However, Museo strongly denies these claims.
“The Black Swan” documentary mentions Museo and a part of the ownership by name and shows images of them in connection with false invoices, fraud, and money laundering without any form of evidence. This is something we are of course both disappointed and saddened by,” the nightclub writes.
The documentary, which premiered on Tuesday, maps connections between criminal environments and various professional groups such as lawyers, contractors, and business people. Extensive criminal activities, including large-scale money laundering and fraud with the disposal of contaminated soil, are revealed through hidden recordings made by a mole in the criminal environment.
Museo emphasizes that neither the nightclub nor its owners have participated in any illegal activities. They highlight that they have not paid for a fictitious security service as alleged, but rather have received and paid for an actual service, for which they have documentation.
According to Museo, they sent the necessary documentation to TV 2 when the channel contacted them earlier in May. However, this documentation was not included in the final version of the documentary, the nightclub adds.
The press release marks a clear distancing from the serious accusations made in the documentary, and the nightclub hopes that their side of the story will be heard and understood.
