For seven months, a 58-year-old man has been in custody in a blacked-out terrorist case with links to Hamas and the gang environment.
And he will be in custody for at least another four weeks. Because he has voluntarily agreed to the imprisonment being extended.
This is stated by the Court in Frederiksberg.
Therefore, there will be no court hearing in the case on Thursday, when the imprisonment was due to expire.
The case is about planning terror – and it is linked to the gang environment and Hamas. But what the 58-year-old is specifically accused of is being kept secret.
Because the court hearings on imprisonment have so far taken place behind double-closed doors.
That decision has also been given the blue stamp by the Eastern High Court, which at the end of June upheld the district court’s decision that the latest hearing should be behind closed doors.
It happened after journalists from Politiken and Ritzau had protested against the closing of the doors.
The 58-year-old man was arrested together with several others in an operation carried out by the Police Intelligence Service in mid-December.
The man, who has made his mark in the public debate for several years, pleads not guilty.
In the same case complex, two younger women in their early 20s were also initially arrested and remanded in custody. However, they were released in early May.
A third person who was among those arrested in December is also at large. The suspicion did not amount to imprisonment, both the district court and the high court have determined.
In addition, three people are in custody in absentia – that is, without being present.
