The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (DSIS; Danish: Politiets Efterretningstjeneste, lit. 'Police Intelligence Service', PET) is the national security and intelligence agency of Denmark.
Official narrative
The stated overall purpose of PET is to "prevent, investigate and counter operations and activities that pose or may pose a threat to the preservation of Denmark as a free, democratic and safe country".[1]
Mossad
The former Mossad case officer Victor Ostrovsky wrote how
“The relationship between the Mossad and Danish intelligence is so intimate as to be indecent. But it's not the Mossad's virtue that is compromised by the arrangement; it's Denmark's. And that's because the Danish are under the mistaken impression that because they saved a lot of Jews in World War II, the Israelis are grateful and they can trust the Mossad.
The Mossad have such contempt for their Danish counterparts that they refer to them as fertsalach, the Hebrew term for a small burst of gas, a fart. They tell the Mossad everything they do.”
Victor Ostrovsky (1990) [2]
