The Økokrim investigation has concluded with the prosecutor requesting a sentence of imprisonment between four and seven years, specifically targeting 56 million NOK (approximately $704k) stolen from an investment fund by former manager Stein Lier-Hansen over three decades; he was previously sentenced to six months in prison for tax evasion. The prosecution argues that his actions constituted fraud against the state rather than simple misappropriation of funds, a charge they seek punished with five years and six months imprisonment as confirmed today (Mar 17).
