The former reality participant Carl Aksel Jansen (27) must go to prison after breaking an agreement, reports TV 2.
Jansen initially avoided serving the prison sentence he received after being convicted of million-dollar fraud. He was instead sentenced to follow a so-called drug program with court supervision.
Sentenced to prison for two years and four months
– Must consider whether we should appeal
However, the requirement was that he had to follow the program, and that if he did not meet, he had to serve two years and four months in prison.
Last autumn, he was accused of violating the terms of the program, and the correctional service demanded that he serve time.
Indicted for million dollar fraud
According to TV 2, the court believed that he “in reality largely evades punishment”, and the district court has sentenced him to one year and nine months in prison.
The decision was appealed, but rejected by the Court of Appeal this week.
– I have to review the decision with my client and consider whether we should appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, Jansen’s defender Petter Bonde told Dagbladet.
Conducted to finance drugs
By obtaining the victims’ BankID details, Jansen took out loans in their names.
Three men and three women were defrauded for a total of NOK 4.5 million from April 2018 to August 2019. This had major consequences for the victims.
Drunk at the “Paradise Hotel”
In court, the 27-year-old admitted essentially all of the frauds, and the court wrote that in several cases he has acted “distinctly recklessly, aggressively and very purposefully to obtain money”.
Jansen has has previously been open about his struggles with addictionand in court it emerged that the frauds were carried out to finance drugs.
The former TV profile even asked not to be sentenced to prison and instead to be sentenced to follow a so-called drug program with court control (ND).
The court made the following demands: If Jansen did not follow the program, he would have to go in and serve two years and four months in prison.
“Extremely tough and difficult”
On Snapchat, Jansen asks for peace.
“Yes, I ran off to Thailand to get away. It has been an extremely tough and difficult year with major depression and relapses which now means that I am in divorce proceedings. Which now means that I have to serve time,” explains the 27-year-old.
Furthermore, he describes himself as “an ex-addict who is struggling and needs help”. He explains that he has “chosen to enroll”, and got a place at the end of March.
“Actually no one in the whole world has anything to do with it except those closest to me…but I have to share because the media will share this”.
