A Dane with dual nationality was on Monday charged with threatening to carry out attacks, inciting acts of terror and defending deadly attacks in France last year, prosecutors said.
The 46-year-old man’s posts on Twitter included a defence of two attacks in France in October 2020, said a statement from the prosecutors office.
In October last year, school teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded in the the Paris suburbs and a man stabbed three people to death inside a church in Nice in southern France.
A resident of the Copenhagen region, the man was arrested and detained shortly after having posted the tweets, prosecutors added.
The man faces up to four years in prison and the loss of his Danish nationality if convicted for his comments. The prosecutors did not specify the other nationality he holds.
