Admits having defrauded 175 people of half a million – news Vestland

The man in his 40s was questioned by the police for the first time yesterday. Here he pleaded guilty to what the police charged him with. This is confirmed by both the police and the husband’s defender, Ivar Blikra, above news. – After an extensive questioning yesterday, the defendant has admitted criminal guilt after the charge that was drawn up, says Blikra. Almost finished investigation According to what news knows, the man must have posted both the iPhone and the festival pass for the hall on Finn.no and Facebook. 175 people from all over the country made an agreement to buy, but did not get what they paid for. Sunnfjordingen itself sat with close to half a million kroner. He is now banned from Finn.no. – We can confirm that we have received four reports of fraud on this person. After that, we have seen several attempts by the same person to post ads on Finn, but it has been blocked by us, confirms senior communications advisor Adéle Cappelen Blystad. Arrested on Canary Island The police have been working on the case since June 2023, and he was internationally wanted in September of the same year. He is said to have expressed that he had no intention of returning to Norway to carry out any punishment. Barely two weeks after his arrest on Fuerteventura, he was back on Norwegian soil. The man agreed to four weeks’ detention. According to the imprisonment order from July, the man claimed at an earlier time that he had been exposed to ID theft. He has now gone back on this. Still in custody Even though he has admitted criminal guilt, he is still in custody. The police have to secure some electronic traces before they say they are done with the investigation. – It is very positive that a person puts the cards on the table and contributes to clarifying the case. It helps us in our further work on the case, says Superintendent of Police Stine Mari Vårdal. Published 16.08.2024, at 11.37
