At 3 pm on Tuesday, the gang crime investigation that the government appointed in June last year will be presented.

The investigation is one of the heaviest 34-point programs against gang crime and the investigator has, among other things, been commissioned to consider increased penalties for crimes linked to settlements between criminal gangs.

There is great political pressure for more severe punishments for such crimes.

For example, a parliamentary majority in a call to the government already a couple of years ago wanted the penalties for such acts to be significantly tightened.

Requests Danish gang legislation

The moderates want to see a regulation that already exists in Denmark.

It means that the penalty for a number of specified crimes can be doubled if the crime has a background in or is likely to provoke a conflict between groups of people.

The tougher Danish penalty scale was seen by Swedes this summer.

In July, the death patrol's leader Mohamed Ali, 23, and two other Swedish gang members were sentenced to life in prison for the double murder in Herlev 2019 against two members of the rival network Shottaz.

Two of the younger defendants were both sentenced to 16 years in prison by the Danish Court of Appeal.

Robbery and drug sales

The government has also instructed the investigator to consider increased penalties for other crimes that are typical of gangs, such as threats and extortion.

But also when it comes to robbery and drug sales.

The investigator will also present proposals on how to access and punish those who recruit young people to criminal networks more severely.
