20 June 2023 at 12:31 Norwegian man arrested in North Macedonia A Norwegian man who has been wanted in connection with a major drug case has been arrested in North Macedonia. – We are satisfied that he has been arrested since he has been wanted in Norway since the end of March and internationally wanted since mid-April, says police prosecutor Jorid Kile in the Oslo police district. The man was abroad when he was charged. – He is charged with possession of a very significant quantity of drugs. We believe the substance has been introduced to Norway, says Kile. The case is based on material from the encrypted messaging service SKY ECC, therefore no physical seizures have been made. The police have now started the process of extraditing the man to Norway. The man has no previous criminal convictions, but according to what news is informed, he must have previously been a central figure in the Young Bloods gang. In addition, another man has been charged in the same case, but not arrested. According to the police, neither of the two accused has been appointed a defense attorney. Therefore, it is not known how the two stand up to the charge.
