Sylvi Listhaug’s former political adviser, Espen Teigen, admits that he lied about staying with a friend in Trøndelag in order to get free commuter housing. – Now I am ready to take my punishment and put this behind me, said Teigen during the trial on Tuesday. Teigen has admitted that he was allocated a commuter home to which he was not entitled when he was a political adviser to then Minister of Justice Sylvi Listhaug (Frp). He did not tax the benefit. In this way, according to the indictment, Teigen saved almost NOK 400,000.
