The case against the leader of Alna barnevern in Oslo City Court has been postponed from November 22nd-23rd until January 6th-7th, 2022 because of sickness within the defense team.

The case will set a precedence in Norwegian case law in that it will be the first time that the State Prosecutor has established a serious charge against a leader within Barnevernet because of his instruction to lie in court. The maximum sentencing for «Obstruction of Justice» is six year´s imprisonment. 

Key sources that KKN has talked with believe that the postponement probably is not only due to illness, but Barnevernet´s need to buy time in a case which Barnevernet seems sure to lose.
