Martin Malm Hansen did not appear Wednesday at Glostrup District Court, where he is charged with aggravated money laundering and VAT fraud.
Hansen appeared involuntarily in TV 2’s documentary The Black Swan. Wednesday marked the first of three scheduled days in the trial.
The judge said the court had no information showing that Hansen had been formally served. That procedure covers summonses and other important notices sent to people required to attend court.
The charges include laundering 17.3 million kroner and committing VAT fraud involving 6.1 million kroner.
