Eighty percent of all criminals active in the Danish capital city of Copenhagen are nonwhite “foreigners,” according to the Danish police.
In particular, Gypsies from Romania and Africans from Nigeria are prominent in the crime figures.
As reported in Denmark’s Metroxpress newspaper, only one in five criminals arrested are “Danish,”—that, is have Danish nationality, which does not mean that they are European.
The huge “foreign” crime element is, Metroxpress said, a “huge burden on police resources.”
The 80 percent foreign crime rate came to light when a Copenhagen police report was uncovered by that newspaper.
The report said that four out five criminals appearing in Copenhagen’s Dommervagten (the preliminary hearing courts) were “foreigners”—and that “Romanians and Nigerians” dominate the lists.
The “Romanians” are of course actually Gypsies—a notoriously criminal group of Indian-origin nonwhites who use their Romanian European Union nationality to spread all over western Europe looking for richer pickings.
“We are spending more and more time on it [the foreign criminals] and we have set aside resources to exclusively take on foreigners,” said Chief Superintendent Jørgen Skov.
He said the “foreigners” are committing all manner of crimes, ranging from property crime to robbery and organized gangsterism.
Every time a foreigner commits a crime, additional casework results, the newspaper continued, pointing out that a “foreign shoplifter” uses up a lot more police resources than a Danish one.
The Copenhagen mayor, Social Democrat Frank Jensen, said he was “concerned” about the development: “Foreigners who come to Copenhagen, and then are accused of crimes, are not welcome in our city. It is a worrying development that I will follow in close cooperation with the Copenhagen Police,” he said, ignoring the fact that it is his own party’s immigration policies which are to blame for the nonwhite crime wave.
Danish People’s Party (DPP) spokesman Peter Kofod Poulsen, however, called the numbers “insane” and said that “strong border controls” were vital to “keeping the criminals out.”
He promised to take it up with the current Danish Minister of Justice, Søren Pind, to see how the “clearly disproportionate” representation of nonwhites in the figures could be reduced.
Pind, approached for comment by the newspaper, said that he had “an expectation that foreigners who are guests in our country behave properly. Therefore, it is government policy that there should be a crackdown on foreign criminals.”
Just last week, the Danish Minister of Justice mooted the idea of deporting foreign criminals back to their home countries to serve out their prison times. This proposal is still under discussion.
* When an arrested person appears in the Dommervagten, it is an indication that the crimes of which they are accused are serious enough to warrant prison time.
According to the documents obtained by Metroxpress, the percentage of “foreign” criminals appearing in the Copenhagen Dommervagten has been steadily rising.
In 2009, some 1,844 people appeared before that court, of which 1,247 were “foreigners” (67.6 percent). By 2011, some 2,181 people had appeared before the Dommervagten, of which 1,478 were “foreigners” (67.8 percent).
In 2013, some 2,854 people appeared before the court, of which 2,148 were “foreigners” (75.2 percent), and in 2015, some 2,633 went before the Dommervagten, of which 2,049 were “foreigners” (77.8 percent).
The Metroxpress added that the real figure could possibly be even higher, because the Copenhagen police lack nationality data on a further 363 people for the latest set of figures.
