That's completely and utterly wrong.

with the same addresses but with a complete different content.

Hacking someone's website (or DNS pointers) has nothing, nada, zip, zero
to do with "big providers like Google, Hotmail, and others". If he
actually claimed this, and from a position of authority, he's not just
wrong, he's dangerously wrong.

Danish company sites have been totally destroyed and 'alternative sites'
put up instead.

None of which has anything to do with search engine use by you or me.
Reminds me of this:

Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor,
with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does NOT MAKE SENSE! But more
important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this
case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this
case! It does NOT MAKE SENSE! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major
record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense?
Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes
sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room
deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches
and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this
supposed jury, it does NOT MAKE SENSE! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you
must acquit! The defense rests.

That, my friend, is pretty much what the cop in question is saying.
