– It is terribly depressing, says Lozic. The man who the police believe is the orderer and main man behind the murder of Jonas Aarseth Henriksen, has given away his house to a close family member.

The man has admitted to having ordered violence, damage and tagging against Henriksen. He denies having anything to do with the murder. The man’s defender, Jon Anders Hasle, is aware that news is covering the case and does not wish to comment. Lawyer Jon Anders Hasle is the man’s defender.

In addition, substantial demands have been notified from Henriksen’s companies, which are now owned by the family. The claims are likely to total several million kroner. On 19 December, the day before the Noresund man was released, the prosecution received the court’s permission to seize the man’s bank account. This means that the accused himself did not have access to use the 1.2 million that was in the account. Then police inspector Odd Skei Kostveit argued that the police would secure the money, in the event that the 33-year-old was sentenced to pay compensation and restitution in the criminal case. In addition to the man, four other men are charged with murder or complicity in the murder of Jonas Aarseth Henriksen.

At the time, the court pointed out that if the accused misappropriates the money in the account, he risks the forced sale of his home to pay any compensation and restitution claims. The court does not doubt the accused’s explanation that he does not want to cause the family such a risk. – But the family thought there was reason to fear that he would do that. And now you can see that this fear actually had something to do with it, says aid lawyer Lozic. – I will not go into too much detail about this, but it is now experienced as frustrating, to say the least. – But it’s not illegal to be generous with your father, is it? – I cannot say concretely what his motivation is for this handover. But seen in the light of what this case concerns and what compensation claims he risks, it appears to be mildly worrying that the transfer has taken place, says Lozic.

The state takes over If a convicted person is unable to pay, victims can apply to the Office for Victims of Violence Compensation. If the application is approved, the state pays out the entire sum and collects the money from the convicted person via the State’s collection centre. This year, they expect to pay out 555 million in compensation. – It is not always possible to collect the money, as the perpetrator does not have the ability to pay, says Yvonne Andersen Bangsund, director of the Office for Compensation for Victims of Violence. – We have approximately NOK 2 billion outstanding and receive approximately 6 percent of the outstanding amount every year, says Andersen Bangsund. Lozic wants to emphasize that the family is not concerned with money. – What this family is concerned about is that those responsible should be convicted. That someone should be held responsible for everything that Jonas experienced in the years before he was killed, and of course that he was killed. And then it is quite natural that finances become part of this, but it is not what is at the top of the family’s agenda, says the welfare lawyer. Hello!
