Four people have been charged with bribery in relation to the construction of the ‘Redmolen’ building in Copenhagen, reports DR.

6-million kroner ‘bribe’ 
The police started to investigate the case when the project’s developer PFA, the country’s largest pension company, discovered there was an underhand “co-operation agreement” between V2C and WR Enterprise.

This agreement involved a so-called project fee of 6 million kroner that the court has treated as a return commission, which is considered to be a form of bribe.
