A 46-year-old Serbian citizen was detained at Copenhagen Airport on 14 April 2026. Danish Customs found a larger quantity of cannabis during a baggage check. The report does not give the exact amount.
He was brought before the duty judge at the Copenhagen City Court on 15 April 2026. The court imposed an immediate sentence of seven months in prison. He was also ordered expelled from Denmark with a six-year entry ban.
He is not named.
Why it matters: The case moved from detention to a sentence in a single day, and the penalty included expulsion and a six-year ban on returning.
