Økokrim says 44-year-old used “green” firms for massive tax fraud
Økokrim alleges a 44-year-old exploited environmentally-branded companies to defraud the state of millions, claiming he only gave advice.
The Norwegian crime agency claims a 44-year-old man with an office on Tjuvholmen used “green” companies to siphon large sums of tax revenue. He insists he is innocent, saying his role was limited to advising others who also participated. He was questioned by investigators and later met his lawyer in Oslo, where photography was prohibited.
Why it matters
The case highlights how green branding can be abused for large-scale tax evasion, affecting public finances.
