Denmark confiscates thousands of euros from asylum seekers
By EUobserver
A controversial Danish law allowing authorities to seize cash and valuables from asylum seekers has been used on a handful of occasions since coming into force in February. A total of €15,805, all in cash, has been confiscated, Danish police told AFP in an email. Danish People's Party, Martin Henriksen, said the law had been "a success" and sent a signal that rules have been tightened in Denmark.
