Swedish Man Sentenced to 7 Years in Prison for Grenade Attack on Copenhagen Kiosk

A 26-year-old Swedish man has been sentenced to seven years in prison by the Danish Court of Appeal for detonating a hand grenade in a kiosk in Copenhagen.

The bombing took place in Copenhagen’s Østerbro district in August 2024. The following year, the man was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Copenhagen District Court, but the Court of Appeal has now reduced his sentence by two years.

He has also been sentenced to deportation and a lifetime entry ban.

The Swede is from Skåne and has claimed through his defense lawyer that he was under heavy pressure from criminals to whom he owed money.
