A 27-year-old received 1,000 Danish kroner every time he shared CPR details.

A 27-year-old former student assistant at the marriage registry office in Copenhagen City Hall admits to having received 1,000 Danish kroner each time he shared CPR (Central Person Register) information.

According to prosecutors, this happened 77 times.

The case will be heard in Copenhagen City Court on Monday afternoon, where proceedings against the 27-year-old have been initiated.

On Monday afternoon, the 27-year-old man sits with folded hands and answers the prosecutor’s questions clearly in the large Courtroom 1 at the city court.

He himself explains that he at least knows he received money for sharing CPR information about 66 people.

The prosecution has filed a claim for confiscation of profits amounting to 77,000 kroner, meaning they believe the man earned 77,000 kroner by sharing the information.

### Admits to conducting the searches

The former student assistant is charged with unauthorized access to over 1,000 people’s CPR information.

He is also charged with attempted complicity in robbery and serious assault, as well as complicity in attempted murder, because some of the information he allegedly sold was used to commit attempted robberies, assaults, and murders.

The 27-year-old admits to conducting the searches and selling the information but denies any involvement in attempted murder, serious assault, or robbery.

He started working at the marriage registry office in June 2023, and shortly after, he carried out his first unauthorized search.

“As I recall, I saw a post on Telegram from someone looking for a person, and that’s how it started,” says the 27-year-old.

In September 2023, the 27-year-old himself advertised his service on Telegram.

“Do you owe someone money and can’t find them? I can help you. If you have the person’s name, I can provide their address, previous addresses, family members’ names, and addresses. Contact me and get your money back,” read the post, which was shown in court on Monday.

In court, the 27-year-old explains that he believed the information he shared would be used for debt collection.

He worked at the city hall until summer 2024, when he was detained for the first time. He was released later the same day.

Around a year later, on July 16, 2025, police had further investigated the case and chose to detain him again. This time, he was held in preventive custody, and he has remained in custody since then.

The trial continues on Tuesday and will run for a total of six court days. A verdict is expected in March.
