The police have steadfastly refused to comment on the case or its possible connection with the bombings in Brussels, but now DR reports now that a 20-year-old man’s name features on the leaked documents, which it claims it has access to.

At the time there were reports of two arrests – possibly three. It is believed a hearing has been held for the 20-year-old under the ‘double-locked door’ provision.

DR also claims that the documents feature other Danes. It has listed a number of details, including their aliases, phone numbers of relatives in Denmark, job experience and education.

The man in question reportedly worked as a telephone repairman and has an upper-secondary education.

Denmark’s national security agency, PET, estimates that more than 135 people have left Denmark for Syria and Iraq to take part in armed conflicts.
