A 23-year-old woman who has fled the war in Ukraine faces potential consequences, including criminal charges and deportation, according to the prosecution at the Mid and West Jutland Police (Midt- og Vestjyllands Politi). The indictment against the woman reveals that she threatened five public employees in four separate incidents throughout 2022.

According to the indictment, which the Danish newspaper B.T. has obtained, she threatened a social worker by saying, “You should be glad my husband isn’t here, or you would have been killed.” In another incident during a supervised visit with her children in Silkeborg, she allegedly raised her clenched fist and stated, “I’m coming for you.” Additionally, the day after these incidents, she reportedly told a family counselor and a team leader that they would not survive.

One week after these episodes, a bus driver in Silkeborg was also threatened when the woman moved her finger across her throat in a gesture that suggested she would cut his throat.

The woman has been charged with these threats, and it remains unclear how she will respond to the accusations. The criminal case is set to be heard in the Viborg court as a jury trial, which suggests that she may not intend to plead guilty. If convicted, she could face a six-year deportation from Denmark.
