2023 Danish terror plot

On 14 December 2023, Danish police arrested three people and charged a further four in absensia for conspiring to commit a terrorist attack in Denmark. One of the four was arrested in the Netherlands, but released. Five out of Denmark's 15 police departments took part in the operation.[a] The three arrested in Denmark, two men and a younger woman, were put before preliminary questioning at around 7 pm.[1] The judge ruled to give the defendants name protection and for the case to take place behind so-called "double closed doors",[2] meaning the public will be restrained from access.[3] The plot has been linked to the Danish gang Loyal to Familia.[4]
