Shooting three days after the security summit
As reported by the portal TwójNorwegia.no, on August 21, a summit of security services was held in the capital of Norway. It was convened by the Attorney General - Tor-Axel Busch. During the meeting, he expressed his concern about the increasing crime in Oslo and the fact that the police are failing to deal with these cases. According to the prosecutor's report, the gangs in the capital city are becoming better organized and engage in activities such as drug trafficking, kidnapping, acts of violence and extortion of money. Shortly after this meeting, we have the opportunity to find out whether the arrangements made during the meeting will translate into higher effectiveness of the work of police officers.
