The ruling Social Democratic Party admits that an inquiry is needed to look into the case of Ahmed Samsam, the Dane currently serving eight years for his involvement in IS, whose claims that he spied for Danish intelligence services will be heard by the High Court, but strongly suggests. that any deep discussion should wait until after the general election.
There has been growing pressure from the red block parties for an investigation to be stamped as soon as possible to such an extent that a political majority is now in favor. Only New Citizens strongly opposes an investigation.
“We will support a commission investigation after a legal end has been reached in our courts,” confirmed Minister of Justice, Mattias Tesfaye, to TV2.
“The cases being discussed concern Denmark’s intelligence services. It requires special considerations.โ
The case is heard at the High Court
After being found guilty of being part of IS in Syria, Ahmed Samsam, a Dane of Syrian heritage, was arrested in June 2017 and sentenced to eight years in prison in Spain in 2018.
But in 2020 Berlingske published a story backs up Samsam’s long-standing claims that he was an undercover agent working in conjunction with PET and FE intelligence services, to whom he passed information obtained on his trips to Syria between 2012 and 2015.
They both reject this, and therefore Samsam takes his case against them to the High Court.
Ahmed Samsam’s lawyer, Erbil Kaya, believes that it is definitely more important to investigate his client’s case than Lars Findsen, the former head of FE.
