A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of citizenship test fraud, and eight other people may be involved.
According to TV2 Fyn, the court in Odense decided yesterday, Thursday, to imprison a 59-year-old man from the municipality of Odense in a case accusing him of fraud in the citizenship test known as the indfødsretsprøven citizenship test. .
In addition, a 43-year-old woman from the municipality of Vejle also appeared in a constitutional inquiry hearing, but was not imprisoned, according to Daniel Dukedal, the public prosecutor in the Odense police, speaking to TV 2 Fyn. The prosecution had requested that the two individuals be detained in connection with a case of systematic document forgery.
The man and woman were arrested after the woman took a citizenship test in Holstebro and had forged identity papers that enabled her to take the test for another woman, aged 39, from the municipality of Odense. The man is suspected of facilitating and organizing the production of forged identity papers. Both the man and woman admitted the facts, but they do not believe that it was a particularly serious fraud.
The case began when a forgery was discovered in a document relating to a citizenship test on Wednesday, and in addition, Fyn police arrested 10 people in an operation that took place on the same day.
While the man was remanded in custody pending investigation until December 20, the woman was released despite still being accused in the case. According to Daniel Duquedal, the reason for this was the accused's opportunity to influence the course of the investigation, while the court considered the woman incapable of influencing the upcoming investigation.
Police suspect the man was previously involved in a similar scam “an unknown number of times at unknown times.”.
According to the prosecutor, Daniel Duquedal, as per the source, this particular case is a special case, which is a forgery of a document related to the citizenship test, and the prosecutor has no knowledge of similar previous cases.
In addition to the two people who are being questioned constitutionally today, there are still eight other people accused in this case.
