NO HELP FROM HOME

It is always a very unpleasant experience to be suspected or imprisoned.

And this is even more so the case in a foreign country, where language, rules and practices are different from home.

Many believe that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs assist in getting Danes imprisoned abroad sent home.

But the reality is that the Ministry can only offer a limited amount of support from the Danish or EU Representations abroad.

But as such, the Ministry does not possess any instruments to get Danes imprisoned abroad released or transferred to serve their sentences at home.

Especially one who knows of foreign legal systems and has knowledge of several languages, including the legal terms and concepts.

SPECIAL RULES

Terrorism as such is a relatively new crime in Danish and in International Law, and very specific rules apply that require special expertise to use.

Terrorism often has connections abroad, and is covered by a set of international rules, which Defense Attorney Rasmus Soelberg are experienced in using.

CLIMATE AND ANIMAL RIGHTS

The rules are very comprehensive, and even relatively ordinary types of crimes are now covered by the Anti-Terror provisions.

The fight for the climate or for Animal Rights for instance may now be covered by the Anti-Terror provisions.

SURVEILLANCE

PET (the Danish Intelligence Service) continuously monitors a large number of groups and individuals in Denmark, which are lawfully, politically or religiously active.

Activities that previously were legitimate, may be the scope of a PET or Police inquiry, and can be considered as terrorism or another illegal activity.

Both against terrorists and left- and right-wing communities, as well as immigrant and religious groups, the Anti-Terror provisions have been used in Denmark.

SUPPORT

It is also illegal to support terrorist movements financially;

However, it may prove very difficult to determine, if an entity in Denmark, or abroad, is subject to the rules.

Rarely support groups make it public that they support terrorist movements.

Therefore, supporters can easily get into trouble, even though it was not the intention.

It has now also become illegal to express support for terrorism, which also applies to Social Media.

NATIONAL

Terror acts have always been illegal in Denmark, but now a much wider span of activities are covered by the Anti-Terror provisions.

Therefore, it is important to use experienced counseling in terror cases.

It is not everything, the Police believes is terrorism that in fact is.

INTERNATIONAL

Terrorist acts abroad are also illegal to perform or contribute to from Denmark under Danish Law, and it does not only apply to active terrorist acts as such;

Transport of objects or persons to be used for terrorism is illegal, and it is also illegal to assist in planning terror abroad from Denmark.

It is also illegal to participate in terrorist training here or abroad, which are both punishable in Denmark.

LIFETIME

Terrorism is one of the most serious crimes, and it can be punished with a lifetime sentence.

Attempted terror is initially punished by twelve years in prison, and if terror is committed, the punishment is 14 years minimum.

The rules have become extremely extensive, and the punishment is severe, so it is important at the very first inquiry from the Police or PET to contact a Defense Attorney, who has an insight in the special provisions.

VIOLENCE CASES

A minor case of violence may seem to simple for consulting a Defense Attorney in.

This can be very traumatizing, especially for a younger person.

It also results in a criminal record, which create serious problems getting or holding a job, due to that most employers demand a clean criminal record.

EXTRADITION

In the EU special rules apply on extradition of suspects;

Previously, it was judged by national courts, if there was sufficient, legal basis for extraditing a suspect to another EU Country.

Now, a so-called EU Arrest Warrant is used for extraditions, which does not require a prior court decision.

That increase the need for professional advice, to initially avoid extradition.

Outside the EU special rules apply for extradition.

Therefore a Defense Attorney with large, international experience and with excellent language skills is very useful.

POLICE

The Police is often telling suspects that they do not need a Defense Attorney, if they have nothing to hide.

Even though the Police states that there is no need for a Defense Attorney, there always is.
