Foreign nationals charged in Denmark

Charged as a foreign national in Denmark? We provide interpreters, assess the risk of expulsion, and offer strong legal defense.

Being charged with a crime in Denmark can feel overwhelming and stressful, especially if you are a foreign national. You may not know Danish law, the criminal justice system, or your legal rights. Common questions foreign nationals ask include: “Will I get an interpreter for my police interrogation?”, “Am I at risk of expulsion from Denmark?”, and “How does the Danish court system work?”.

At ØENS Advokatfirma, we specialize in assisting foreign nationals facing criminal charges in Denmark. We provide clear, professional, and reliable legal advice from the first police interrogation to any court proceedings. Our goal is to protect your rights, minimize stress, and guide you through every step of the Danish criminal justice system.

What it means to be charged in Denmark

A criminal charge in Denmark is a formal allegation by the police that you may have committed a crime. Charges can range from minor offenses, such as theft, traffic violations, or shoplifting, to serious crimes like assault, drug offenses, or fraud.

As a foreign national, there are special considerations:

Right to an interpreter: You are entitled to a professional interpreter during police interrogations and court hearings to fully understand all proceedings.
Right to a defense lawyer: It is highly recommended to contact a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. Early legal representation can significantly impact the outcome.
Risk of expulsion: Depending on the severity of the crime and your residency status, a conviction may result in expulsion from Denmark.

Understanding your rights as a foreigner charged in Denmark is crucial to avoid mistakes that can affect your case or residency.
