This is revealed in a recent judgment from the Oslo District Court. It states that Stig Millehaugen must be “released on probation from custody from the time the correctional service decides, but no later than 1 June 2024”. The trial period is set at five years. The court has set a number of conditions that must be followed during the probationary period: Millehaugen must be followed up by the correctional service He must live in a place the correctional service finds suitable He must accept and follow up offers of employment He must accept offers of treatment He will be subject to a drug ban He can do not contact the victim He must not have contact with people in a “criminally charged environment” The verdict is unanimous, it says in the conclusion of the verdict. The deadline for parole has been set so far in time at the request of Millehaugen himself. He has said that he and the correctional service must be given enough time to prepare for parole, the judgment states. – I have not had the opportunity to read the judgment. I will read it thoroughly before we consider an appeal. Stig Millehaugen has been convicted repeatedly of violence, twice of murder, and he must gradually be returned to society. In my view, it is unfortunate that he goes directly from a prison with a high security level into society, says state attorney Kristian Jarland – Accusing Petter Bonde is counsel for the family of Mohammed “Jeddi” Javed. It is him Millehaugen is serving a custodial sentence for killing. – To the extent that he (Millehaugen, editor’s note) is released, it will be burdensome for the family, says Bonde to news. He adds that it is an additional burden for the family that the case is constantly in the media. Millehaugen’s defender Morten Furuholmen has the following comment on the verdict: – Stig looks forward to being able to give something back to society that can make us all a little wiser and better as people, Furuholmen tells news. Millehaugen’s defender Morten Furuholmen in Oslo district court in August. Appeared in court in August Millehaugen appeared in Oslo District Court at the end of August in connection with his application for parole. The prosecutor then thought it was too early to grant parole for the man who has been convicted of two murders. Millehaugen, for his part, believed that the custodial sentence he received in 2012 was what gave him the motivation to change. – I have previously been a complete criminal, and that is what has changed in me. Custody changed that. Nobody asked me how I was before, but in the detention system there were people who cared, he said in court. – From 2014 onwards, I internalized the crap I had done. In the judgment, the court writes that they consider it well proven that Millehaugen has changed both his behavior and functional capacity in recent years. They also come to the conclusion that there is not “a qualified and real danger that Millehaugen will commit serious acts of violence again upon parole”. The court also believes that social protection has been sufficiently safeguarded, as a number of conditions have been set for the probationary period of five years. Millehaugen has hardly been out of prison since 1989, apart from a period in 2000 and 2001. Then he was absent from leave and was on the run for almost eight months. He was later arrested in a parking garage in Oslo, he writes in his own book. Admitted murder in interview In May, he spoke to news about when he was absent from leave from Trondheim prison. He then admitted for the first time the murder of Mohammed “Jeddi” Javed, for which he is serving a custodial sentence. According to Millehaugen himself, this was part of him trying to show that he had been rehabilitated during the detention period. The court believes that Millehaugen’s absence from leave does not change their view that he has changed his behaviour: “During the main hearing it was thoroughly documented, in the court’s view, that the absence was not due to Millehaugen’s need or desire to do something criminal, but a personal and psychological crisis” . Read the great news interview with Millehaugen here: Millehaugen was often called “Norway’s most dangerous man”. He has served a sentence of 21 years in custody for the murder of Young Guns leader Mohammed “Jeddi” Javed in 2009. Listen to Oppdatert’s episode about Stig Millehaugen:
