He reports VG.
Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl (Sp) asked the PST for a more detailed explanation of when and how the licensing practice for regional units of PST and the context of this was changed.
The background is that police officer Øyvind Tenold was fired from his position as head of the Police Security Service (PST) in the Western Police District in June after filing several complaints.
When Tenold was due to return to work in 2019 after a year off, he was told he needed to be cleared twice to access secret PST documents. He believes the dual clearance requirement was designed to get rid of him.
PST, for its part, stated that over time the authorization responsibility of the managers of the PST regional units has been clarified. This is what Mehl now wants a full account of.
