Justice Minister understands criticism of police after TV doc

Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard acknowledges the critical questions raised by TV 2’s “The Black Swan” documentary. He recognizes the serious allegations, including police instructing a source to lie. An Independent Police Complaint Authority investigation has been launched due to these revelations. Hummelgaard finds this investigation sensible and awaits its outcome. The original documentary, released a year ago, depicted connections between the criminal world and professionals, aided by mole Amira Smajic. Criticism arose for not disclosing Smajic’s concurrent cooperation with police. New episodes focus on interactions between police and Smajic, including police instructing her to lie to protect her informer role. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen deflected questions, directing for further comments to Hummelgaard, who emphasized the need for police to adhere to rules, despite complex cases.
