Therefore asked Trine Team of his nearest officer for an explanation, which had to be done over the weekend. Thomas Ahrenkiel has in the statement stated that he should have informed the minister earlier:
‘I must, in the light of the statement conclude that you should have been informed about the case significantly earlier than it actually happened.

In 2018, he was criticized in a memo from the Attorney general, when he in 2016 had participated in a meeting where his girlfriend and current wife – got himself a nice pay raise.
Thomas Ahrenkiel, who is a Knight of the Dannebrog and a member of the secretive Bilderberggruppe, had, however, before the wage negotiations told the country’s top official, prime minister’s office permanent secretary Christian Kettel Thomsen, on the relationship.
