- Title
Unearthing Denmark's Defence Scandal.
- Authors
TRUMAN, JOHN
- Abstract
Denmark is currently embroiled in a defense scandal involving an Israeli defense contractor, Elbit Systems. The controversy began when it was revealed that Deputy Prime Minister Jakob Ellemann-Jensen disseminated false data to the parliament regarding competitive bids for an arms procurement deal with Elbit. The deal came under intense scrutiny, and the Folketing's Finance Committee was criticized for making a decision within an unreasonably short timeframe. Members of the Folketing expressed their dismay, stating that their consent to the agreement was based on a misapprehension. The Danish Ministry of Defense Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has been implicated for disseminating erroneous information, and a comprehensive legal investigation into the affair has been commissioned.
