Danish police confirm investigations and charges related to Hamas are ongoing despite the suspect's release.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n According to TV2, Danish authorities released a 60-year-old man who had been held in pretrial detention for nearly two and a half years on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack and providing financial support to Hamas. The source stated that the man was released on Wednesday after 875 days in custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Police: Complex investigations necessitated continued detention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The source quoted Copenhagen police as saying in a written response that terrorism financing cases are complex and require a long time to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the source, the police said: \u201cThe man remained in pretrial detention for a long time because the investigation into terrorism financing is complex and time-consuming. He was detained to serve the course of the investigation, but the situation has now been assessed to the point where his continued detention is no longer necessary.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Police confirmed that the investigation is still ongoing and that the charges against him still stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The arrest began in December 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TV2 noted that the man was arrested along with a number of other people on December 14, 2023, on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) explained at the time that the case had links to Hamas and to the criminal environment and gangs within Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Investigations revealed the purchase of three drones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During a court hearing held in May of last year, it was revealed that the case concerned the purchase of three drones from a Danish online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The source stated that the indictment indicates that the 60-year-old man and two other women, who were also accused in the case, received the drones on November 7, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the charges, the drones were supposed to be used by Hamas to carry out an attack inside Denmark or in another country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The man is well-known in Islamic and missionary circles in Denmark.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The source indicated that the man is a well-known figure in Islamic circles in Denmark, where he spent years raising funds for humanitarian and charitable purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The source added that he had also participated in public discussions over the past years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The source explained that he does not publish the man\u2019s name or the name of the association he belongs to because of the gag order imposed in the terrorism case, and this is also what we at Denmark 24 adhere to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The suspect denies the charges against him.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The man denied the charges against him in the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was also released in the case during October of last year, but he was not actually able to regain his freedom, as he was immediately re-arrested in a new case related to the financing of terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accusations of millions of kronor being diverted to Hamas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The man, along with another man, was charged with transferring or attempting to transfer millions of kronor to Hamas through a network of associations and organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The source explained that the network included a Danish association and a Turkish association, in addition to the Turkish Filistin Vakfi organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The source added that the United States considers the Filistin Waqf organization to be an entity that has provided financial support to Hamas and has ties to the movement's leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the indictment, the case concerns a total sum of 5.7 million Danish kroner, which was collected or attempted to be transferred to Hamas through the aforementioned network of associations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Money Path<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TV2 explained that the court sessions in the case were held behind closed doors, but it had revealed in the spring of 2024 how funds collected under the heading of humanitarian aid ended up with the Filistin Vakfi organization through the associations mentioned in the indictment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The website also stated that the man used a Danish woman to collect donations that later ended up with the Filistin Vakfi organization, which the source said has links to senior leaders in Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A widely circulated image featuring figures associated with Hamas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TV2 pointed to a picture posted on the YouTube channel of the Filistin Vakfi organization, showing the head of the organization and next to him a person whom the source said was a member of the Hamas leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The website added that the photo also showed Mohamed El-Mezain, who had previously been imprisoned for more than 13 years in the United States for a terrorism financing case linked to Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Previous violations of fundraising laws<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The TV2 article stated that the man needed to enlist the help of a Danish woman in fundraising operations because he was unable to obtain official permission to collect money himself, following previous and repeated violations of fundraising rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The release does not end the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the source, Copenhagen police (K\u00f8benhavns Politi) confirmed that the case is still under investigation and that the charges against the man are ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) also reported that the man is still accused in a case of planning a terrorist attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A female lawyer declined to comment, while another lawyer welcomed the release.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The source indicated that he contacted the man's lawyer in the terrorism case, Gitte Juul Jensen, but she declined to comment on the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His lawyer in the terrorism financing case, Michael Juul Eriksen, did not respond to the source's inquiries, but told the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) that he was pleased with his client's release from custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DR quoted him as saying: \u201cI am a new lawyer in the case, and I worked for his release because we saw no justification for his continued pretrial detention. That has now worked, and we are satisfied with the outcome.\u201d.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0631\u0637\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0646\u0645\u0627\u0631\u0643\u064a\u0629 \u062a\u0624\u0643\u062f \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0645\u0631\u0627\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u062d\u0642\u064a\u0642\u0627\u062a \u0648\u0627\u0644\u062a\u0647\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0631\u062a\u0628\u0637\u0629 \u0628\u062d\u0631\u0643\u0629 \u062d\u0645\u0627\u0633 \u0631\u063a\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0641\u0631\u0627\u062c \u0639\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0634\u062a\u0628\u0647 \u0628\u0647 \u0648\u0641\u0642\u0627\u064b \u0644\u0645\u0648\u0642\u0639 TV2 \u0641\u0642\u062f \u0623\u0637\u0644\u0642\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0644\u0637\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0646\u0645\u0627\u0631\u0643\u064a\u0629 \u0633\u0631\u0627\u062d \u0631\u062c\u0644 \u064a\u0628\u0644\u063a \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0645\u0631 60 \u0639\u0627\u0645\u0627\u064b\u060c \u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0645\u0648\u0642\u0648\u0641\u0627\u064b \u0627\u062d\u062a\u064a\u0627\u0637\u064a\u0627\u064b \u0645\u0646\u0630 \u0645\u0627 \u064a\u0642\u0627\u0631\u0628 \u0639\u0627\u0645\u064a\u0646 \u0648\u0646\u0635\u0641 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0645\u060c \u0644\u0644\u0627\u0634\u062a\u0628\u0627\u0647 \u0628\u062a\u0648\u0631\u0637\u0647 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u062a\u062e\u0637\u064a\u0637 \u0644\u0647\u062c\u0648\u0645 \u0625\u0631\u0647\u0627\u0628\u064a \u0648\u062a\u0642\u062f\u064a\u0645 \u062f\u0639\u0645 \u0645\u0627\u0644\u064a \u0644\u062d\u0631\u0643\u0629 \u062d\u0645\u0627\u0633. \u0648\u0630\u0643\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0635\u062f\u0631 \u0623\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062c\u0644 \u062e\u0631\u062c \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0628\u0633 …<\/p>","protected":false},"author":206070079,"featured_media":27152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1358],"tags":[1738,2196,2195,2338,2941,2402,2490],"class_list":["post-30381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-1358","tag-1738","tag-2196","tag-2195","tag-2338","tag-2941","tag-2402","tag-2490"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danmark-24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot_20250825_100849_Gallery.jpg?fit=1204%2C727&ssl=1","author_info":{"display_name":"\u0623\u0633\u0645\u0627\u0621 \u0639\u0628\u0627\u0633","author_link":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/author\/asmaabbasdk\/"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danmark-24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot_20250825_100849_Gallery.jpg?fit=1204%2C727&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pd9WgT-7U1","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/206070079"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30381"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30383,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30381\/revisions\/30383"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
