The attack follows a deadly shooting in neighbouring Norway last week, in which two people were killed by a lone shooter in the capital Oslo.
The terrorist threat against Denmark is currently assessed to be “serious”, with the biggest threat coming from “militant Islamism”, according to the latest report from the Danish Security and Intelligence Service.

A 33-year-old Romanian citizen was sentenced to three years in prison for extensive trafficking in loot. In addition, he was expelled for good.
In a case involving thieves from approximately 150 thefts or burglaries, the accused mastermind, who systematically and organized the loot, was today sentenced in the Copenhagen City Court to three years in prison.
The man, who has lived in Denmark for 10 years, is a 33-year-old Romanian citizen who was charged with a total of 174 counts of heeling and attempted heeling of a particularly serious nature. In addition to the prison sentence, he was also deported for good.
The woman has in a domestic interrogation admitted attempted money laundering of just over 29 billion kroner, and she received Thursday Copenhagen City Court’s judgment on the spot.
The financial crime has taken place by the fact that she, together with two other defendants through 40 different Danish limited partnerships, has made it possible to receive and transfer money that was directly or indirectly the proceeds of crime.
Almost four billion euros – or approximately 29.5 billion Danish kroner – were channelled through the series of companies that all had accounts at Danske Bank’s branch in Estonia in a period from December 2008 to March 2016.
“This is the largest amount we have seen in a case of money laundering brought before the court in Denmark. The woman has had a role in a large money laundering complex that was built up around 40 Danish limited partnerships. Among other things, she has managed them and has ensured that the companies were equipped with formal management and could submit accounts so that the companies could be registered in Denmark.
She has thus made it possible for the companies to move money around to obscure their illegal origins. This is particularly serious money laundering, both because of the historically high amount and the professional organisation behind it,” says Lisette Jørgensen, Special Prosecutor, National Unit for Special Crime (NSK).
The other two defendants in the case have also been affiliated with the companies. One is a 49-year-old woman who is a former Russian citizen. She was extradited from England on December 22, 2021 and has been in custody since. The other is a 56-year-old Lithuanian man living in Denmark.
The 49-year-old Lithuanian woman is in a previous case sentenced to three years and 11 months in prison for money laundering of at least 140 million kroner. The punishment in the case today was therefore meted out as an additional penalty, so that the woman was sentenced to 8 years in prison.
The four men were arrested on Tuesday, June 14, from 5 to 7 p.m. One was arrested in Copenhagen, where he was found in possession of about three million kroner, which, according to the police’s suspicion, he was to transport to Sweden.
Two others were subsequently arrested in the metropolitan area. Swedish police also carried out a search at an address in Malmö, where a considerable amount of millions was found. Here the fourth man was arrested.
The men arrested range in age from 28 to 49 and belong to the same network, which specialises in transport, smuggling and money laundering, according to the police. These are two Syrian citizens, as well as two Swedish citizens with a Syrian background.
The arrests follow an investigation in which there has been close cooperation with the Swedish police and the Swedish authorities.
The four arrested are charged with in the period from January 2022 to the time of arrest to have organized the handling of not less than 80 million dollars.
“When the employees from Tungvognscenter Syd checked the truck and the driver’s papers, it quickly turned out that the Polish driver was driving with a different driver license than his own,” says Special Prosecutor Pernille Moesborg. “A closer investigation showed that he did not have the right to drive at all, as he was disqualified from driving in his home country. This led to a 40 indictment for driving on someone else’s driver’s licence and driving without having acquired the right to drive between 10 May and 8 June 2020.”
The court sentenced according to the indictment and sentenced the Polish driver to 60 days of suspended imprisonment, a total fine of DKK 89,000 and an unconditional disqualification of the right to drive the heavy vehicles in Denmark for 6 months from the final judgment. In addition, the 44-year-old driver was sentenced to deportation from Denmark with an entry ban for 6 years.
Police would like to hear from people who may have seen the perpetrator before, during or after the assault. He is described as:

On June 11, 2022, the Danish, Greenlandic, Canadian, and Nunavut governments agreed to split Hans Island in half after 17 years of negotiations. On June 14, 2022, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly and Danish foreign affairs minister Jeppe Kofod signed an agreement to divide the island. The treaty will take effect after the parliaments of Canada, Denmark, Greenland and Nunavut have each voted to approve it. By this, Canada and the Danish Realm (through Greenland) will have an international land border of 1,280 m (1,400 yards), which follows a rift in the surface of the island that runs from north to south near the centre of the island. On ratification, the island will contain one of the top four shortest land borders between countries, and would create a second land neighbour for Canada and the Danish Realm, each of which only had one, with the United States and Germany respectively.
