Crime and justice: It is Oslo newspaper which has referred to the verdict from the Oslo District Court, where the mother was convicted of pimping and extensive drug sales, the son for complicity in pimping.
In court, several witnesses told that cocaine was placed in the common area of the lounge, which the employees could use. Several of the employees explained that they became dependent and built up a debt to the owner as a result.
The police seized drugs on the premises in 2017, 2018 and in 2021.
A former policeman was fined for buying sexual services on the spot. In the period 2017 to 2020, he transferred NOK 70,000 to one of the employees in the massage parlour, according to the judgement.
The former policeman excused himself by saying that for a period he was her lover.
– Money transfers to several of the employees clearly indicate that he has purchased sexual services. His background as a police officer indicates, in the court’s view, that he would not have adopted such a motion if the charges were not true, the judges comment.
The woman partially admitted selling drugs to “at least 50 people” in the massage studio, and she was also sentenced to five years in prison in 2006 in a serious drug case, writes Avisa Oslo.
The woman was sentenced to prison for one year, the son to 90 days’ probation. The mother also has NOK 425,000 confiscated from the pimping and drug business.
