Sentencing for million-kroner money laundering and drugs at Copenhagen District Court
A 40-year-old Copenhagen man was sentenced on Wednesday to three years and six months' imprisonment for money laundering and drug crime, according to B.T.
The case was tried as a guilty plea case at Copenhagen District Court. The National Unit for Serious Crime (NSK) confirms in a press release that the man has admitted to money laundering of nearly nine million kroner, committed in cooperation with several unknown accomplices.
Furthermore, he possessed and transferred a total of 210 kilogrammes of cannabis at various times between 2020 and 2025.
According to the NSK, the activities were coordinated via encrypted messaging services such as Sky and Signal.
"The convicted man was deeply involved in drug crime and financial crime. This is serious, and it is reflected in the court's decision," says prosecutor Christian Ånerud, who conducted the case for the NSK.
The man was arrested in June when he had just landed by plane at Copenhagen Airport.
In addition to the prison sentence, just over 128,000 kroner has been confiscated, and he has been deported with an entry ban for six years.
