"terrorist attack", Danish intelligence said Monday.
Flemming Drejer, head of operations at Denmark's PET intelligence service, said in a statement it believed that "this individual purchased drones intended for use by Hamas in a terrorist attack at an unknown location in Denmark or abroad."
Appearing before a court on Monday, the man was remanded in jug until June 11.
PET said the case had links to both Hamas and criminal gangs in Denmark, and related to a number of arrests made in December 2023 as part of an operation to prevent a suspected planned "terrorist attack".
Six people were ordered detained at the time, four in absentia, among them the 28-year-old man, who Danish media reports said was a prominent figure in organized crime in Copenhagen.
According to public broadcaster DR, the suspect had been extradited from Leb

over a separate double murder case.
"PET and the Prosecution Service believe that the individual is a leading figure in a prohibited gang and has ties to Hamas," PET said.
Danish intelligence has repeatedly indicated that the conflict in the Middle East has a "spillover effect" on the "threat landscape" in the Scandinavian country.
"The conflict holds considerable potential for mobilization that may prompt a number of spontaneous or premeditated reactions, including terrorist attacks, from various known and unknown threat actors," PET said.
