A 64-year-old man has been fined 15,000 Danish kroner (approximately $2,200) for violating a publication ban in the notorious Korsør case. The ruling was made on Wednesday in the Aalborg Court, as reported by Nordjyske. The man was not present during the court session.

The situation began when the man shared a Facebook post that revealed the identity of Philip Patrick Westh. Westh was under a publication ban after being presented at an initial court hearing in April of last year, where he was later sentenced for the murder of Emilie Meng. The ban on disclosing his name remained in effect until shortly before his trial commenced at the Næstved Court.

According to court documents, the unauthorized sharing on Facebook occurred after the initial court hearing and the post remained accessible online. The police have not provided further details regarding the content of the post or the exact timing of when it was shared.

This serious violation has resulted in a significant fine for the 64-year-old man, who now faces legal consequences for breaching the publication ban. Philip Patrick Westh, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Emilie Meng and for serious offenses against two other teenage girls, is once again in the spotlight due to this court ruling.
