A notorious serial fraudster, Per Hansen, has been sentenced to one year in prison after pleading guilty to VAT and credit fraud. The Roskilde Court delivered the sentence on Friday, which the 44-year-old defendant accepted.

Hansen, who has also used the aliases Per Ulrich Karpf and Per Ulrich Andersen, was indicted for VAT evasion totaling 600,000 kroner. The National Unit for Special Crime (NSK) outlined the charges against him, stating that he orchestrated the scheme.

In addition to the VAT fraud, Hansen was also accused of obtaining gift baskets, gift cards, and leased machinery without payment. These actions further contributed to the charges against him.

The defendant’s past extends beyond this recent case, as he has a history of criminal activity. His previous exploits include appearances in Copenhagen’s nightlife that garnered attention.

His criminal past is documented in the book “Rede Penge” by journalists Bo Elkjær and Niels Sandøe.

Prior to this conviction, Hansen was sentenced in February 2024 to three and a half years in prison for million-dollar fraud and complicity in money laundering.

Despite his extensive criminal record, Hansen has also experienced acquittals. Notably, he celebrated an acquittal in a case involving fake banks, fraud, and credit fraud with a 150,000 kroner birthday party at the Nasa nightclub in Copenhagen in 2006.
