Since the case was reported in November, the man has been out of operational service. Instead, he worked on investigations. He is now out of service. The policeman himself was informed about this today. – After the prosecution decision, the facts in the case are now more thoroughly assessed by the Bureau than when we made the decision in November. He has now been taken out of service completely, that decision was made on Wednesday, says Police Chief Ole B. Sæverud to VG. Chief of Police in South-East Ole B. Sæverud Photo: John-André Samuelsen / news Will continue to be paid Suspension means that the official is temporarily removed from his position with immediate effect. In order for a police officer to be suspended, there are two requirements that must be met, writes lawyer Anniken Astrup in Politiforum. The employer must have reason to believe that the civil servant has been guilty of matters which may give grounds for dismissal. The needs of the business must dictate that the official must temporarily resign from work. Even if the civil servant is temporarily removed from service, the employment relationship otherwise remains. The civil servant is entitled to maintain his agreed salary. Hit with clenched fist and baton On the night of Sunday 30 October, Kevin Simensen, Marius Stormo and Kristian Pablo Teigen were out on the town in Kongsberg. They were thrown out by a bouncer at the nightclub, who believed Simensen had made threats against him. On the way home, they met a police patrol at Esso, and it all escalated from there. Simensen was put on the ground, punched several times in the face and also beaten with a baton by the police officer, as shown on the surveillance video. The officer who deleted a video from Stormo’s phone was fined NOK 12,000 on Thursday.
