For ten years, Ulrich Larsen infiltrated closed North Korea and knew how to reveal how the dictatorship used to sell drugs and missiles to bring foreign currency to the country.

The movie about his infiltration. it was shown on Danish television on Sunday.

– I hope this increases the pressure on human rights in the country, Ulrich Larsen said in an interview with DN on Sunday.

Now Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod comes out and says that he, along with Sweden’s Foreign Minister, will address what is shown in the documentary at the UN Sanctions Committee.

– What has emerged in the documentary is deeply disturbing. There are things that show the seriousness and also the brutality that this regime can use to obtain foreign exchange through criminal activities such as arms and drugs trafficking, Kofod tells RD.

In a written statement it says Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs that they also take very seriously what has emerged in the film and that it is important that all countries maintain the sanctions that currently exist against North Korea.

And Sweden does not rule out that there may be additional sanctions proposals:

“We analyze the information in the documentary and what additional steps it can provide,” writes the Foreign Ministry.

According to Foreign Minister Ann Linde’s press secretary Klara Watmani, Sweden has chosen to take the issue further with Denmark because part of the documentary takes place on Swedish soil.
