It shouldn't matter whether these specific charges are made-up or not. At this point they're unproven allegations, and it's up to a court to decide whether they're valid or not.

It's important to realize that anytime you give the police power over people still facing trial, you give them that same power over anyone they can fabricate spurious charges against. That's why it's important to have things like warrants and pre-trial court orders, so that there's some accountability when the police detain someone over unproven allegations.

Yes. And there has been. He was extradited by a Swedish court. And he was put in solidarity by a Danish court before his trial begins. Or is that not a close to warrant/pre-trial court orders?

I'll confess I'm not intimately familiar with the details of this case, and I'm speaking in generalities.

But still - it doesn't matter whether the charges are invented or not, or even what those charges are. What matters is that a judge (not the police) ruled that he should be held until his trial.
