Why the silence in the Camilla Broe case?

When Camilla Broe was extradited to the United States under very little attention from the press due to the mass extradition of refugees from Iraq just days before, most Danes believed that it was just a matter of days before she would be placed in a show trial and handed some sentence of 60 years only to return home to be released.

After all most things pointed in a direction of a kind of exchange between Denmark and the United States where Denmark would receive a kind of reward (maybe a job for a high profile Dane) in exchange for her.

Then a judge steps in and has the courage to give a real judgment in this case which exposed poor and lazy work of the police. Not only did they take the woman down who gave them information of the entire case before court. They did it too late.

Then there is the conflict between the testimony given by a DEA agent and every political figure in Denmark. The DEA agent told - properly under oath - that it was the Minister of justice in Denmark who told them to use the Danish court system to have her extradited. It was denied 100 percent during a hearing in the Danish parliament. Someone is lying. It is not possible for both parties to speak the truth.

When the east high court gave the approval to have her extradited they specifically asked to have the statutes of limitation investigated in this case BEFORE she should leave the country. It was not done and now see the result.

Last but not least her case did not go before the Supreme Court because it was denied. By whom? By the same officials who could benefit from the extradition going through?

So much have been wasted for this single mother of a 10 year old girl. This case clearly shows that you are an easy prey if you choose to leave your country to make a life abroad. It is simply not worth it to take the risk. Life in Denmark has taught me the lesson that you have to keep your head low and mind your own business. Do not speak up.

Camilla Broe should have learned the lesson. She should have remained in Denmark. But she didn't. Instead she traveled to Florida where they have the second largest prison population. There she made mistake number two. She actually became a consultant and gave valuable advices to firms which wanted to expand their markets in Europe. She became successful instead of just to settle for a job as waiter or dish washer.

Here in Denmark you can make it as an immigrant, but like Camilla Broe you have to learn that you have to take the low-paid jobs as first generation immigrant. It doesn't matter if you were doctor back home. Your education doesn't count in a more advance culture. In fact not even a year in a US High school can be accredited in Denmark.

It is your grandchildren which can make it to high paid jobs. It is the lesson of life for immigrants in both Denmark and the United States.Making a mistake of going for success too fast is the only crime Camilla Broe did make and it is costing her the highest price these days.
