Denmark: Suspected fund raisers arrested

03 Oct 2012

Authorities in Copenhagen, Denmark have arrested eight people across Zealand who are suspected of financing the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which the US, EU and Canada have designated as a terrorist organization. These arrests follow the investigations into a Copenhagen-based Kurdish TV station which was fined 2.6 million Kroner in January for violating Denmark’s anti-terror laws. “In that investigation, there were indications that throughout several years money was collected in Denmark that benefited the PKK”, explained a spokesman for the Copenhagen Police. He stated that USD24.6 million has been shipped from Denmark to the PKK, USD11.8 million of that in the last three years.
