It's a very odd outing!
Marius and his... mate or whatever he is are staying at a five star hotel in Copenhagen. (Who's paying?) Marius has as you can see dyed his hair, he did not succeed particularly well though. His mate is acting like a bodyguard for a movie star, constantly looking around and checking the surroundings. And generally acting paranoid. The mate is a typical Scandinavian man in his 20s.
The mate/bodyguard/whatever is BTW in breach of Danish legislation. You are not allowed to cover your face in a public place unless you have a very good reason, the penalty is up to six months in prison. And considering that the temperatures these days are absolutely balmy, he can't use the weather as an excuse.
So what is Marius doing in Copenhagen?
Why is he staying at a five star hotel if he wants to be incognito?
Is that a real bodyguard Marius has hired or merely a somewhat amateurish friend? And why need a bodyguard? Why is the bodyguard so eager to cover his face?
It's almost comical!
Anyway the DK version of Se&Hør is a lot more aggressive than their Norwegian sister-magazine, so Marius is probably being shadowed as much as possible.
They would absolutely love snapping photos of Marius going to Christiania or some park in Copenhagen to buy drugs. I'd say Marius is in hostile territory. The DK (and Norwegian) press would have a field day if Marius got himself arrested here for being in possession of drugs.
Like I mentioned in a previous post if Marius is caught in DK doing something stupid, he'd be in a spot of trouble!
Example: There is a saying in Swedish gang-circles meaning something like: Kill a man, get four years and become a full gang-member. That's because the sentences for young perpetrators in Sweden are very low.
And very annoyingly young Swedes are hired by Danish gangs to do a hit, because the Danish gangs know the penalties here. And that means that when a Swede is caught (between 40-60 by now IIRC) they expect Swedish sentences. So they get a nasty surprise when they end up in court in DK.
The other day a Swede who was hired to throw a handgrenade (that fortunately didn't hurt anyone), got 14 years. And last year a Swede who was hired to kill someone here in DK and did so, was sentenced to life. He expected 4 years. - That's because gang-related crimes are punished hard to begin with and if being gang-related, they automatically get extra time by law.
So if Marius little friend is member of a gang and they do something that can be sentenced as gang-related, Marius may wish he had stayed in Norway. He'd certainly be fluent in Danish by the time he is released,
