Danish police made use of a controversial law allowing them to confiscate valuables from asylum seekers for the first time since the legislation was passed.
Police seized the equivalent of 79,600 kroner ($11,875) from five Iranian citizens, according to an e-mailed statement on Thursday. The people had tried to enter Denmark via Copenhagen airport using “false documents,” police said. The three women and two men had a total of 129,600 kroner in cash with them, police said.
