In the Frederiksberg Court, a 25-year-old Swedish man was brought in, arrested while wearing jogging clothes with several visible tattoos. He was apprehended at Utterslev Mose, a natural area in Copenhagen, on Tuesday evening at 7:15 PM. The Swedish national quietly confirmed his information to the presiding judge, after which the prosecutor began the proceedings.

The man is facing two serious charges. The first relates to a violation of Section 192a of the Danish Criminal Code; he is accused of having received, transported, and possessed two hand grenades under aggravating circumstances. These grenades were allegedly handed over by unidentified accomplices who remain at large. Additionally, he is charged with attempting to detonate the grenades, a situation that was prevented by the swift intervention of the police.

As the charges were read, the 25-year-old Swedish man looked around in confusion while an interpreter translated for him. His defense attorney, Knud Vedelsby, requested that the police evidence be heard before any further comments could be made regarding the charges. The attorney also insisted on a name restriction, which the judge accepted. This ruling means that the media outlet B.T. and other present media are prohibited from disclosing the man’s identity.

The prosecutor from the Copenhagen Police (Københavns Politi) also requested that the preliminary hearing be conducted behind closed doors. Despite objections from the press, the request was granted due to public interest in the case and the safety concerns involved.

This arrest coincides with a rising trend of Swedish citizens being involved in serious crimes in Copenhagen, often linked to the escalating gang conflict. Recently, two other Swedes—a man and a woman—were also remanded in custody. Since April, at least 12 incidents involving Swedish participation have been recorded, prompting Denmark to tighten border controls with Sweden.
