Here is a selection of our current cases:

THE WITHHOLDING TAX CASE

The case concerns alleged fraud involving the refund of dividend tax amounting to DKK 8.9 billion in the period from 2012 to 2015. Lawyer Mikael Skjødt is co-defending a British financier residing in Dubai, who the prosecution believes is the perpetrator.

ATEA SAYS

Charges of bribery and embezzlement have been brought in the case. The focal point is an account with the IT company ATEA, which was allegedly used to bribe former employees of Region Zealand. However, the investigation has shown that the funds in the account belonged to Region Zealand, and the court must therefore decide whether it is possible to bribe people with their own money.

The case has been before the City Court, the High Court and the Supreme Court - and is now heading back to the High Court again in spring 2022, after the Supreme Court ruled that an error was made during the High Court's handling of the case.

 

THE PKK CASE

The case is the largest ever terrorist financing trial in Denmark. In the case, 10 Kurds were accused of supporting terrorism by collecting and channeling DKK 140 million to the PKK. The Office's client was acquitted in both the District Court and the High Court.

THE CASE AGAINST AARHUS LOKALBANK CONCERNING PRICE MANIPULATION

The case concerned alleged price manipulation in the trading of the bank's own shares and was brought against the bank and 3 former employees.

SUPREME COURT ACQUITS MAN WHO THREW OFF ANKLE BRACELETS AND WALKED

The case concerned whether a person serving time with an ankle bracelet could be punished when he removed the bracelet and left his home. The man was acquitted by the Supreme Court, which found that there was no legal basis for imposing a penalty.

DANE EXTRADITED TO GERMANY FOR NAZI MUSIC

The case concerned the extradition of a Dane to Germany under the European Arrest Warrant. The Danish man had allegedly produced right-wing nationalist music and was extradited, but the case was later dropped. The client has now received compensation from Germany for unjustified detention.

TWO PEOPLE RECEIVED LIGHTER SENTENCES IN THE SUPREME COURT FOR HOME ROBBERY

The case was prosecuted under the aggravated penalty in the robbery provision concerning actual home robberies. Both the District Court and the High Court had sentenced the two defendants to five years' imprisonment, but the Supreme Court ruled that this was not an actual home robbery and reduced the sentence to 1½ years' imprisonment.
