  • Three individuals are facing demands for pretrial detention in Randers, Denmark, in connection with a potential terror case.
  • Authorities have not disclosed specific details about the case or the charges against the three people due to its sensitive nature.
  • Reports suggest the case involves a violation of a penal code section concerning terrorism, and the prosecutor may request closed-door proceedings.

Three individuals are set to face a demand for pretrial detention on Monday afternoon at the Randers Courthouse in Denmark. The announcement comes from the prosecution authority at East Jutland Police via their "Prosecutor Update" service.

Due to the sensitive nature of the case, police are withholding specific details about the allegations and the charges brought against the three individuals. However, according to information obtained by Ritzau, the case reportedly concerns a violation of Section 114 of the penal code, which deals with terrorism.

It is anticipated that the prosecutor handling the case will request that the courtroom doors be closed during the preliminary hearing. If this request is granted, the public and media will not have access to the evidence presented by the police or any statements made by the accused. The specific charges, however, are expected to be announced.

The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) has stated that they currently have no comment on the matter.
