But on Friday, May 26, the Norwegian managed to take a flight from Thailand to Paris and from Paris to Oslo with a fake passport.

“I’m in bad shape, but I don’t want to elaborate on that. I’m going to the emergency room. I also have nowhere to live, so maybe they can help me,” he said to Norwegian TV 2.

“I can confirm that he has been in contact with the police and informed them that he has returned home. He will allow himself to be questioned when his state of health allows it,’ says his defense lawyer, Farid Bouras.

Norwegian police confirm that the man will allow himself to be questioned.
