Faroese prosecutor appeals money laundering acquittal to Supreme Court

The Faroese prosecution service has appealed a district court’s acquittal in a major money laundering case to the Supreme Court of the Faroe Islands, Kringvarp Føroya reports.

A 29-year-old Danish man, charged with serious money laundering and attempted serious money laundering, was cleared by the Faroese Court. According to the indictment, nearly half a million Danish kroner—481,366 DKK—was laundered between 31 May and 3 June 2021.

The prosecution alleges the laundering was carried out in collaboration with others, both in the Faroe Islands and Denmark. Police have not charged any additional suspects. The accused has denied the allegations.
