In the initial phase of the investigation into the Lørenskog case, police linked a young man from Eastern Norway to the traces of Ole Henrik Golf’s passport copy, which is an important clue in the investigation into the disappearance of Anne Elisabeth Hagen, writes VG.
The copy of the passport has been on sale on the dark web and is linked to a series of planning steps leading up to the kidnapping.
The man’s lawyer, Robert Antonsen, tells the newspaper that the case against his client has been thoroughly investigated by the police.
– It has nothing to do with the Lørenskog case, but acknowledges that he had access to a copy of the passport in question, which was then online and was therefore available to several people, says Antonsen.
– The police initially accused him of severe deprivation of liberty, very early in the case. Then they accused him twice of identity theft. In the last interrogation, I sensed that the police were concerned about getting people out of the case, says the lawyer.
Antonsen discovers that no one now believes the young man has anything to do with the Lørenskog case, even though the charge against him has not been formally dropped.
– It has been a long time since the prosecution, and I expect a quick conclusion of the case against my client, says the lawyer.
