(Copenhagen Post) The long-awaited trial of three Danes charged with acquiring drone parts on behalf of Islamic State is scheduled to start today at Copenhagen City Court. Additionally they are charged with terrorism.
It will be contended that the trio spent 400,000 kroner on acquiring state-of-the-art drone equipment, and that they were trying to spend another 500,000 kroner when they were arrested.
Tracking the money, and sourcing it to IS, will play a large role in the case, according to experts, who mostly doubt the prosecutors will be able to prove the trio received funding derived from terrorism.
Before their arrests, the three Danes, who are all 30 years old, worked as a taxi driver, bicycle courier and teacher.
