Danish hairdresser and TV personality face charges of document forgery.

A hairdresser from Herning, Denmark, alongside Amira Smajic, known from TV 2’s documentary “The Black Swan” (Den Sorte Svane), is facing charges of document forgery and providing false statements to a judicial assessor. The case concerns a fraudulent employment contract from May 2019, which was submitted to the Herning Court (Retten i Herning) as part of a bankruptcy filing for a company where the hairdresser served as director. The contract alleged that an individual referred to as K was employed and had outstanding vacation pay amounting to 124,850 Danish kroner (approximately $18,000), despite K never having been employed by the company.

Defense attorney Berit Holmstrøm emphasizes that Amira Smajic maintains her innocence, as does the hairdresser, according to prosecutor Frederik Nielsen. The trial, which has already seen a court session in April, is set to continue with another hearing on August 23, which is expected to be the final session.

Amira Smajic is also involved in another criminal case in Odense, Denmark, which involves larger-scale fraud and document forgery. This case is significantly more extensive and includes a court session scheduled for September. Again, Smajic asserts her innocence. The documentary “The Black Swan” illustrates how criminals collaborate with lawyers and business professionals for money laundering, with Smajic appearing as a central figure in this network, bringing substantial public attention to her.

The forthcoming decision in Herning could have far-reaching implications for her future.
