I accept that the situation may be misrepresented, but your own link states otherwise:

Police can seize cash over 10,000 kroner [..] as well as individual items [..] such as watches, mobile phones and computers

money and valuables will be confiscated on arrival [..] Assets discovered at a later stage [..] may also be taken

So if the BBC article is inaccurate about the Danish situation, I don't think you should assume it is any more correct about the Swiss, Dutch or German situation.
