the Police action, however, could be it, as Hans Jørgen Bonnichsen call a “crusher”.
– Whatever the result, and then shaking to the environment in such a way with the clenched fist, to say: “Stop. We are just in the neck of you.” It is in itself an excellent result, ” he says.
For a PET-boss is the primary focus not on the suspects get a punishment. It is instead about whether PET can stop the suspects in a timely manner, explains Hans Jørgen Bonnichsen.
– PET prevents, counteracts and prevents. It requires insight. They have a motive? They have the majority. But they have the knowledge, skills and time?
– Has the PET so that sufficient knowledge, then it may well be, you don’t have evidence for a conviction, but then the “crusher” to them, and tear the organization up. But let us now see. It may be, it leads to an indictment and judgment of conviction, he says.
