– The two have been arrested in Milan, Italy, said police inspector Grete Lien Metlid at a press conference at the police station in Oslo at 1pm on Friday. – Italian police have arrested them. The background is that they have been wanted internationally. – Shooting in public spaces is highly prioritized. Anyone shooting in Oslo must expect a lot of attention. If you shoot in Oslo, you will be arrested, says Metlid. It was the night of Sunday last weekend that two people were shot close to the National Theater in central Oslo. Two suspects were wanted nationally and abroad. A third man was arrested but was released on Tuesday. He is no longer charged with complicity in attempted murder. Arrested in Italy – The two accused were arrested in Milan on the basis of a broad investigation and cooperation with Kripos. We have had indications that they had left the country for a few days, without it being verified, says police attorney Christian Hatlo. – They have probably visited Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Italy. We have had contact with both Danish and German police, says Hatlo. Now the Oslo police are asking for them to be extradited to Norway. – It has been an intense week, but we are very happy now, says Metlid. She says there are still unanswered questions. – The police have good control over the course of events. We have a lot of video material. Now we have to survey whether there was a pretext. In that connection, further arrests may be appropriate, says Hatlo. Several streets in central Oslo were blocked off after the shooting.

According to what news is informed, it is still uncertain what the background is for the shooting, but so far there is nothing in the investigation to indicate that the shooting was planned. – They are linked to criminal circles. But must come back to whether there are conflicts behind it. It is important not to conclude too quickly, Metlid said at the press update on Friday. The arrest at the train station Ole Petter Drevland is defending the one man who has been arrested. – How does your client respond to the charge? – We have not discussed that. The only thing I can say is that I have had a dialogue with him. He is under arrest down there and we are trying to establish contact with him. – Did you have a dialogue with him before or after he was arrested? – I don’t want to say anything about that. – What do you know about how the arrest took place? – According to what I know, it happened at the train station in Milan, says Drevland. International MC club The two men who were shot have previously been convicted a number of times for serious matters. Both have also been involved in previous shooting incidents. – My client is injured and is in hospital. I do not wish to comment on the case beyond this, says lawyer Thomas Klevenberg. He has been appointed as legal counsel for the man in his 30s. According to what news learns, several of the accused have a connection to the MC club Satudarah. The international MC club has branches all over the world and is described as a so-called 1% club. The club, which originated in the Netherlands, is notorious for, among other things, drug activity and violence.
