The Attorney General’s office for fraud and economic crimes - generally known as the Danish Fraud Squad (SØIK) - has filed charges of gross fraud for a figure totaling around USD 3.5 million (DKK 24.3 million) against a well-known Danish company operating in the oil sector.

The company is protected by a name ban which prevents ShippingWatch and Finans from reporting information that could identify the company, its owners or its management.
