  • Denmark

A Danish court on Monday found a Nigerian man guilty of endangering the lives of Danish military personnel in a shooting incident last November involving Denmark's navy and a crew of suspected Nigerian pirates in the Gulf of Guinea.

However the court declined to sentence the man, despite a call from the prosecutor for a prison sentence of 12 to 15 months.
