The two Swedes were arrested at Copenhagen station a few hours after the explosions, initially simply suspected of having violated weapons laws.
The description of their crime has since been changed and the police, who also arrested a man in his fifties in this case, are looking for other accomplices.
“It makes no sense to imagine that this is an act they committed alone. There must be accomplices,” prosecutor Søren Harbo said at the start of the hearing, according to Ritzau .
Both young men deny the accusations.
In a context of extreme tension in the Middle East, the incident comes against a backdrop of rising violence between gangs, with Danish criminal gangs being suspected of recruiting underage Swedes for score-settling.
