Man Sentenced for Threatening Queen Margrethe’s Life 🇩🇰
A 39-year-old man has been sentenced to psychiatric treatment for an indefinite period after making a death threat against Denmark’s Queen Margrethe.
The incident occurred in February 2023, when the man called the Danish Royal Household, saying:
“I’ve been ordered to kill the Queen.”
He claimed to be controlled by terrorists through a chip in his brain and stated that after killing the Queen, he would take his own life.
A royal secretary immediately contacted the police. Authorities later confirmed the man was mentally ill, not acting on a credible threat.
The Roskilde court ruled that the man was not fit for regular imprisonment and issued a court-ordered psychiatric treatment sentence instead.
