The Supreme Court confirms what the City of Copenhagen, corresponding to the district court, approved already in January 2020 and which was later upheld by the Eastern High Court.
The Loyal to familia network will be dissolved and banned.
HD believes that LTF violates the constitution, because it is an association that uses violence and criminal means to achieve its goals.
Do not use LTF symbols
The verdict is described as principled and historical.
According to Attorney General Jan Reckendorff, it was almost 100 years ago that an association was last banned in Denmark.
- This means that the association is prohibited from continuing to operate.
You can no longer walk the streets with LTF symbols.
It is not something that solves gang crime in itself, but it is a tool in the toolbox, says Jan Reckendorff to Danmarks Radio.
The defense: Can not cease to exist
LTF was founded in 2012 in the area around Blågårds plass in the Danish capital, and has since expanded to other Danish cities as well as Helsingborg and Malmö.
Over the years, several hundred of the gang members have been sentenced to prison, and today, according to the Danish police, there are about 100 members in LTF.
- Of course, we are not satisfied with the verdict.
I have said from the outset that the ban will not have any major significance.
You can not tell people to stop existing, says defense lawyer Michael Juul Eriksen.
