(AFP) A Dane who claims he was jailed due to work spying on IS group jihadists wraps up his court case Friday aimed at forcing Danish authorities to confirm his story — or not.
A ruling in favour of Ahmed Samsam could help the 34-year-old fight a conviction in Spain over his alleged Islamic State ties, but a win in Denmark is far from assured.
Samsam has sued Denmark’s intelligence secret service PET and military intelligence service FE to force them to admit that he was spying on foreign jihadist fighters for them in Syria in 2013 and 2014.
But even if his claims are true, the security services are under no obligation to confirm them.
The verdict is due in about a month.
