Per Hansen, a known serial swindler with multiple aliases, has been sentenced to one year in prison for VAT and credit fraud. The 44-year-old accepted the sentence handed down by the Court in Roskilde on Friday.

The National Unit for Special Crime (NSK) stated that Hansen was responsible for VAT evasion totaling 600,000 kroner. He also allegedly obtained gift baskets, gift cards, and leased machines without paying for them.

In court, Hansen admitted that he acquired a gift card for a luxury spa in Copenhagen to treat his girlfriend.

Hansen’s criminal history spans many years and is documented in the book “Rede Penge.” He was most recently convicted in February 2024 for million-dollar fraud and complicity in money laundering, receiving a three-and-a-half-year prison sentence.

The current case covers the period from the latter half of 2024 to the beginning of 2025.

Notably, Hansen was acquitted in a previous case involving fake banks, fraud, and credit fraud. He celebrated this acquittal with a 150,000 kroner birthday party at a Copenhagen nightclub in 2006.
