Danish Gang Member Accused of Helping Swedish Man Obtain Hand Grenades

On Friday morning, a 25-year-old Danish gang member was presented in court regarding a case involving a Swedish national who was found in possession of hand grenades in Tingbjerg, a neighborhood in Copenhagen. The Danish man is accused of assisting the Swedish individual from August 11 to August 13 by allowing him to use his apartment in Eastern Zealand and ordering a taxi for him to retrieve the hand grenades.

In the Frederiksberg Court, prosecutor Alexander Scheel is seeking to have the 25-year-old placed in pre-trial detention. According to police reports, the accused is a member of a Danish gang, although the specific gang has not been disclosed. The 25-year-old has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Defense attorney Torben Rasmussen has successfully obtained a name prohibition for his client to protect him from potential threats posed by rival gangs. Despite protests from the press, the judge has decided to uphold the name prohibition.

Two other individuals are already in pre-trial detention in connection with this case: a 25-year-old Swedish man and a 41-year-old Danish gang figure. The Swedish man was arrested on Tuesday evening in Tingbjerg, where police found him in possession of two hand grenades, which he allegedly intended to detonate somewhere in Copenhagen. The Swedish man has admitted to the possession but denies planning any explosion. The older Danish man also maintains his innocence.

This incident is part of a larger wave of Swedish criminal activity in Denmark, with at least 13 similar occurrences reported since April. This situation has led to tighter border controls between Denmark and Sweden.
