Convicted of laundering 78 million kroner

A 30-year-old man from Fredericia has been sentenced to three years of unconditional imprisonment by the District Court in Odense for money laundering of a particularly serious nature.

The case was investigated and prosecuted by the National Special Crime Unit (NSK), and the verdict was delivered as a confession case.

The 30-year-old admitted that in the period from March 2024 to September 2025 he collected a total of 78,400,000 kroner from criminals around the country. The purpose was to obscure the illegal origin of the money.

In addition to the prison sentence, the man was expelled from Denmark with a re-entry ban of 12 years. The court also confiscated 665,000 kroner and 8,480 dollars in cash from the convicted man.

The 30-year-old has been held in custody since September 2025, when he was arrested together with several others in connection with a major police operation.

In the same case complex, a 21-year-old man has previously confessed to his role in the laundering of 120 million kroner. Three people remain in custody in the case.

“The convicted man acted as a courier in a network that organized money laundering for criminals across the country. The proceeds were then channelled out of the country. This is serious, and the court’s decision reflects that,” says special prosecutor at NSK, Jhin Lee.

The 30-year-old has appealed the verdict seeking a more lenient sentence.
