The Lithuanian is accused of having delivered hashish to a sports plane in Denmark, before it was flown into Norway. – I do not feel good about what I have done. I regret it very much, he said during his statement in Hordaland District Court on Wednesday. The man explained that he was assigned to pick up a rental car and deliver some bags in Denmark in 2022. He did not suspect that what he was about to do was criminal, he claims. But the bags were heavy. It was only then realized that he was transporting hashish. – I got a bad feeling in my stomach, but I couldn’t just turn around and leave. I thought I should finish and get home as soon as possible, explained the man. The sports plane was actually going to Voss, but due to storms the plane changed course. The plane landed instead at Jarlsberg Airport in Tønsberg. Police prosecutor Jørgen Henriksen questioned one of the accused Lithuanians in Hordaland District Court on Wednesday.
