Danish police suspect that the 16-year-old was to murder one or more members of the motorcycle gang Comanches. He is also charged with possession of weapons, according to the Copenhagen police prosecutor on X.

The police's understanding is that he was hired for the murder assignment. He was arrested near Kastrup Airport on April 23 and has been detained since then.

A 30-year-old woman with an address in Denmark is charged with providing weapons to the 16-year-old.

Furthermore, a 21-year-old Swedish man is detained for involvement in the planning of the murder attempts against the motorcycle gang. Danish police suspect that he acted as an intermediary and recruited young Swedes for murder assignments in the country. He is totally suspected of involvement in three murder attempts.

Since April, several Swedes, including several teenagers, have traveled to Denmark to commit serious crimes.

Danish prosecutors have previously charged two Swedish teenage boys with attempted murder. One of the boys is charged with attempted murder against individuals with connections to Comanches, which also occurred in April.
