[Regnum] A US citizen with an unregistered weapon and a list of addresses of several members of the Norwegian royal family is detained by police at Oslo airport. The local newspaper VG reported this on January 14.

“The connection of the accused with Norway and the purpose of his stay is considered, among other things, as a special interest in the Norwegian royal family,” the newspaper quotes the decision of the court of first instance of the regions of Rumerike and Glomdal.

It is clarified that a US citizen landed at Gardermoen airport, in whose luggage a weapon and a notebook with the addresses of several members of the Norwegian royal family were found. The man was taken into custody and pleaded guilty to violating the weapons law. It is noted that the arrested person submitted an application to the Norwegian authorities in order to obtain permission to import weapons into the country.

As the American's lawyer, Jörunn Läglan, clarified, his client himself told customs that he was carrying an unregistered weapon. According to the lawyer, the case will end with an admission of guilt, and then the US citizen will be expelled from the country.

According to the publication, the same man was already expelled from Norway in 2021, when he was spotted near the Norwegian royal palace and the residence of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen accidentally confused her country with Norway and put the wrong tag on a photo on social networks. The Prime Minister wanted to express her respect to King Frederick X of Denmark on his accession to the throne, but accidentally tagged the royal house of Norway in a photo on a social network.
