Person responsible for prosecution in this case, state prosecutor Marianne Djupesland, says the verdict is important for the fight against corruption, both in Norway and internationally.
– The verdict is also an important signal that corruption is detected and prosecuted, also in international sports federations – says the first prosecutor.
Convicted of corruption
– There is a lot of money in circulation in top international sports. Confederations manage large financial assets and make decisions that are important for both athletes and the business world. We hope that this judgment will raise awareness and have a preventive effect, says Djupesland.
