– I hardly had time to open the door before I got a fist in the middle of the planet, and was attacked by a person, claims Per Sandberg. A 24-year-old man from Oslo is accused of hitting the former fisheries minister in the face with a clenched fist. He is also accused of having threatened to kill Sandberg. – I can take a beating myself, but the fact that you have to walk on “caterpillar feet” because you are afraid that such people will attack, it does something to you, he says. The violence and threats are said to have occurred on 30 December last year. Halden Arbeiderblad mentioned the case first. The indictment states that Sandberg suffered a concussion, swelling and abrasions on the left side of his face and headaches in the days afterwards. Per Sandberg and his former girlfriend Bahare Letnes opened the bar in Halden in 2020. Here the former politician was beaten down. Photo: Heiko Junge / NTB – Don’t let me pick my nose Per Sandberg and his former girlfriend Bahare Letnes opened the Grand Bar in Halden in 2020. In 2022 they started full-time with hotel operations as well. – We think it’s fun to run a bar in Halden, but this detracts from the joy. We have many good guests, but sometimes such scumbags come, says the former Frp politician. He claims there was nothing about his behavior that provoked the now accused 24-year-old. According to Sandberg, the man has attacked him before as well. – You have to dare to show up and look such people in the eye. It is clear that you are more exposed as a public figure, but I don’t allow myself to be picked on, says Sandberg. Charged for a number of matters The man in his 20s from Oslo is also charged with a number of other offenses on the same evening. In addition to threatening Sandberg that he would shoot him, he is said to have also threatened to shoot a police officer on the way to the arrest. He is also said to have behaved sexually offensively towards a woman against her will inside the Grand Bar. He is also accused of being in possession of less than one gram of hashish. The trial is scheduled to go to Søndre Østfold District Court in September. The man’s lawyer has not responded to news’s inquiries, but writes in an SMS to NTB that he does not want to comment on the case.
