– The case is finished and a solution has been found, says lawyer René Ibsen to VG.

He was scheduled to represent Louise Angelica Riise in Ringerike, Asker and Bærum District Court on 15 June.

The bankruptcy estate of John Arne Riise’s former company, Alle skal med AS, demanded a refund of NOK 810,000 from his ex-wife, and sued her for the same amount.

Now the parties have reached an agreement and reached a settlement. Ibsen does not want to comment on what the settlement entails.

VG has been in contact with lawyer Johan André Eikrem who has been the legal representative for the bankruptcy estate’s lawsuit. He does not wish to comment on the matter at this time.

VG has requested a comment from Louise Angelica Riise and John Arne Riise.

Investigated the company

Louise Angelica Riise is an influencer and has been involved in, among other things, “The Bloggers”. She married John Arne Riise in 2014before it became known last year that they were divorcing.

The ex – husband’s former company Alle Skal Med AS was filed for bankruptcy several times from 2019–2020.

Following the latest petition made by the Tax Administration, the company was investigated for payments of more than 900,000 kroner, and a car sale that should never have taken place.

According to the annual report from the bankruptcy estate, a review of the company’s bank statements shows that Louise Angelica Riise received a payment of NOK 900,000 from the company on 13 September 2019.

She was listed as general manager from November 2019 to March 2020.

Payment was made of parental benefits, expenses, driving allowance, delay fee and a fee of 71,250 kroner for lectures given in connection with the TV program “Celebrity mothers”, it is stated in the court documents.

The statement assumes that there was only a documented basis for NOK 90,000 of the total payment, and that the rest of the payment was an illegal distribution.

“Fictitious” transaction

The bankruptcy estate therefore believed that the 810,000 kroner had to be repaid, and in November 2020 filed a monetary claim against the Riise couple.

Louise Angelica Riise was the recipient of the payment, but according to the annual report, it emerged that she was not solely responsible for the repayment:

“As account manager and as chairman of the board, John Arne Riise participated in the distribution and is thus also responsible for returning the amount”

The company was also investigated for a car sale a few years ago which meant that John Arnes Riise’s debt to the company was reduced by NOK 688,000.

The bankruptcy estate believed that a transaction had been entered into in the company which they described as “fictitious”. This was supported by a report from the Tax Administration, to which the annual report refers.

A settlement complaint was lodged in this case as well, but was together with the second claim against the couple. The housing manager has not pursued this monetary claim further, but “will, however, continuously assess the situation”.

John Arne Riise sold all the shares in the company in March 2020. According to Dagens Næringsliv Joakim Bruno Larsen will receive the company free of charge from Riise.

He is said to have informed the estate manager that he did not know what the company was doing, and that the reason he wanted to take over the company was that he had received information that the company owned a car of considerable value.
