Overview
- Copenhagen City Court found the men guilty of terrorism and attempted murder for throwing two grenades near the Israeli embassy in October 2024.
- The 18-year-old received 12 years in prison and the 21-year-old received 14 years, with both also ordered deported to Sweden.
- Judges and jurors were divided on the terrorism count, with two judges and four jurors in favor and one judge and two jurors dissenting.
- Both defendants admitted carrying out the attack but said they acted for payment rather than ideology, as authorities linked the act to a criminal gang.
- No one was injured when the grenades detonated on a nearby residential terrace; the younger defendant also faces a separate case in Sweden tied to an earlier embassy attack in Stockholm.
