(Local) Danish police are uncertain as to the whereabouts of [as] many as 2,835 rejected asylum seekers, some of whom may still be in the country, according to a report.
A National Police document detailing the figure was seen and reported by Radio24syv.
The unaccounted-for persons could either be in Denmark, a second country or have travelled home.
The National Police believes the majority of the unaccounted-for persons to have left Denmark during the three years over which the total has accumulated, Helga Lund Laursen, who heads the Nationalt Udlændingecenter, the law enforcement’s unit for foreign citizens, said to Ritzau.
