Camilla Broe is the first Danish citizen to be extradited to a country outside the European Union, when she was handed over to the American police after being indicted on 14 counts of drug trafficking. She is facing a sentence of up to 60 years in prison if she is convicted, but would serve only 6 months in the US before being deported to Denmark to serve another 2 to 8 years.On 7 August 2009, a board of Danish judges decided her case could be heard before the Danish Supreme Court.She was placed on house arrest with work release until extradition could be processed. However, she was jailed when she appealed the ruling to European Court of Human Rights, the house arrest being changed to incarceration in jail. She was taken to Vestre Fængsel on 10 August 2009. This prison is regarded as very tough compared to the county jail in Elsinore, where she had been detained previously.Her case has been accepted by the European Court of Human Rights, but it did not stop her from being extradited to Florida.The family has now created a foundation in order to raise money for her defense because her economy cannot provide a legal defense.She is currently detained at the Federal Detention Center in Miami.
