PM decries ‘unacceptable moral decline’ in documentary

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has expressed shock at the indifference and disrespect for Denmark and its legal system portrayed in the TV 2 documentary ‘The Black Swan.’ After beginning to watch the much-discussed series, which was released on Tuesday and uncovers ties between criminals, business people, and lawyers, Frederiksen highlighted the serious crimes revealed such as money laundering and the disposal of contaminated soil. Emphasizing her deep repudiation of the activities shown in the documentary, she mentioned that a new legislative package, Bandepakke 4, is underway to intensify the crackdown on gangs.
