+summary: "Jeremy Meilhac is a French national raised in Denmark who was sentenced to six years in prison by a Danish court in April 2026 for terrorism-related offenses as a Terrorgram Collective member, becoming the first person convicted of Terrorgram-linked terrorism in Denmark, with his Danish citizenship revoked and deportation ordered."
+---
+
+Jeremy Meilhac (born approximately 1995/1996, French national, raised in Denmark from age two) was a core [[Terrorgram Collective]] member sentenced to six years in prison by the [[Glostrup District Court]] ([[Denmark]]) on approximately April 21, 2026 for terrorism-related offenses under Danish law, becoming the first Terrorgram conviction in Denmark and the first time a Danish court formally labeled Terrorgram a terrorist organization.[^1] He was also stripped of his Danish citizenship and ordered expelled from Denmark following the sentence, the first such citizenship revocation in a Danish terrorism proceeding connected to the Terrorgram network. The verdict has been appealed to the [[Danish High Court]].[^2]
+
+### Terrorgram Activities
+
+Meilhac operated multiple profiles on [[Telegram]] that [[Europol]]'s [[European Counter Terrorism Centre]] (ECTC) identified as among the most influential within the Terrorgram network. His activities during the indictment period (approximately June 2023 to December 2024) included producing and disseminating far-right extremist propaganda in Terrorgram's channels; collaborating directly with [[Dallas Humber]], the Terrorgram inner collective's U.S.-based co-leader, to produce "saint cards" (the trading-card-format graphics profiling far-right mass shooters with death tolls, methods, and attack dates, framing them as martyrs); sharing audio recordings of attackers' manifestos through the network's channels; and glorifying terrorism in content distributed to a transnational audience.[^1][^2]
+
+Europol identified him as playing a "central and active role" in the network's operations, distinguishing him from peripheral channel participants. The case originated approximately three years before the 2026 conviction, when a journalist reported Meilhac to Danish police for threats. A [[Danish Broadcasting Corporation|Danish Radio]] (DR) podcast called "Lyssky" documented his case in an episode titled "Terrorgrams danske stemme" ("Terrorgram's Danish voice").[^3]
+
+### Prosecution and Conviction
+
+The [[Public Prosecution Service of Denmark]] charged Meilhac with terrorism-related offenses under the Danish Penal Code. The trial took place in Glostrup District Court; the date of the verdict was approximately April 21, 2026. The court found that Terrorgram qualified as a terrorist organization under Danish law, the first such finding in Denmark.
+
+The sentence of six years was accompanied by an order for subsequent deportation and the revocation of Meilhac's Danish citizenship. He was born in [[France]] but had lived in Denmark from approximately age two; the citizenship revocation required a judicial determination that he retained French citizenship, preventing him from becoming stateless.[^2]
+
+Europol described the conviction as further dismantling the Terrorgram network's international infrastructure, noting in a press release dated May 1, 2026 that it followed the December 2025 Canadian conviction of [[Matthew Althorpe]] (20 years) and the earlier 2025 U.S. conviction of Dallas Humber (30 years).[^1]
