Historical experience shows that politically appointed members of the Court of Impeachment have tended to judge according to the party-card.

In 1910, the former Minister for the Interior Sigurd Berg [da], was ordered to pay a fine for negligence in his supervision of The Zealand Farmers’ Savings Bank (Danish: Den Sjællandske Bondestands Sparekasse) (the Alberti case).

[4] In 2022, the former Minister for Immigration and Integration Inger Støjberg, was sentenced to 60 days in prison for illegal separation of couples in refugee centres.

The construction ended up being much more expensive than expected, but both Hall and Worsaae were acquitted in the Court of Impeachment.

[10] The former Minister for Justice Peter Adler Alberti was convicted in an ordinary criminal trial for using the equivalent of 900 million Danish kroner of stolen money from the Den Sjællandske Bondestands Sparekasse (The Zealand Farmers’ Savings Bank).

[11][12] On 13 December, Støjberg was convicted to 60 days of prison for unlawful misconduct and maladministration of office, pursuant to the Minister Accountability Act and the European Convention on Human Rights (Article 8),[13] by illegally separating couples in refugee centres, where one or both persons were minors, some of them with children.
