This is the first time Norwegian authorities, on the advice of the police, have deported a person based on new directives from the Ministry of Justice and Public Security. The decision was made on 20 February. The new directives came into effect at the turn of the year.
The Swedish national had not been convicted in Norway but was investigated in about ten criminal cases involving serious threats, in which his connection to the Foxtrot network was central.
To be deported, a person must be assessed as posing a particularly great threat because of connections to a criminal network.
Last year, 58 convicted people were deported from Norway.
