– As of now, he has decided not to appeal the decision from the district court. He sees no point in an appeal as he cannot go back to UiT anyway and take up his work there, says his defender Thomas Hansen. He says that it is a case of large proportions that has brought harm to the man. On Tuesday, he was arrested in Tromsø, suspected of being a Russian spy with a Brazilian passport. – I also want to clarify, even if he does not appeal, he in no way agrees with the accusation, says defender Thomas Hansen. The man hopes that the deportation process will go quickly. The defender does not know to which country the man will be deported. – How is the man? – He is of course having a hard time, and is in shock. Trying to process it as best I can. It is not an easy position to be in, with serious accusations that have come against him, explains Hansen.
