Denmark pays compensation to pirates
Am I the only one who has problems with understanding why pirates who are caught in the act of kidnapping of ships and crews or attempt or intent to do so, then may receive large amounts of personal liability amounts. .. it seems to me to be deeply violated for my perception of justice ..... And as a total lack of respect for the seafarers, their companies, and the owners of the ships' cargoes of goods ..... whether the pirate succeeds with his project or not, he becomes financially rewarded for his criminal activities and / or intend ... It can not be right. What do I ....?
Nine suspected Somali pirates who tried to hijack the Danish freighter Torm Kansas in November 2013, received compensation from the Danish state. Each has received 19,600 kroner in compensation for being detained for too long before they came before a judge.
The Attorney-General deplores the length of the proceedings, and the affected have now received compensation for unjustified detention", says communications manager at Public Prosecutions Mikkel Thastum to Ritzau.
The nine Somalis were captured by the Danish support ship Esbern Snare after an attempt to hijack Torm Kansas in the Indian Ocean on November 10 2013. They were also suspected of attacks on another freighter.
On November 23, they were remanded in custody in absentia at a preliminary hearing in City Court. Five days after the High Court gave defense counsel's argument that there had been a significant breach of fundamental legal certainty.
The Constitution says that a citizen shall not be detained for more than 24 hours before being brought before a judge. At the time, the nine sat captured on Esbern Snare for 13 days. The prosecution abandoned their action against pirates by a Danish court.
The nine Somalis were left to the government of the Seychelles, Nov. 30, 2013, since Denmark has an agreement with the archipelago to prosecute pirates suspected of attempted hijacking of cargo ships that are resident in other countries.
A few days ago, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, decided to pay between 2,000 and 5,000 euros to the 9 Somali pirates. This is because France took too long to set the pirates before a judge after arrival to the country.
The nine pirates attacked two French ships in 2008 and took several hostages. The pirates were paid a ransom of a total $ 4.1 million to release the hostages, but were subsequently captured by French elite soldiers on land in Somalia.
There was, however, a few days before they arrived in France and then 48 hours before being brought before a judge. The ECHR stated that France must pay one of the pirates 5,000 euros while the others are each having 2,000 euros.
