Man gets six months for ******* on Norway royal palace

A Norwegian court has imposed a six-month sentence on a wheelchair-bound foreigner for throwing two Molotov cocktails at the royal palace in Oslo, local police say.

The man had received a reduced sentence as he had admitted his ******, they said.

His health problems had also contributed to the court’s decision.

The authorities are looking into possible deportation.

The ******* took place on July 8 at the rear of the castle in the centre of the Norwegian capital.

The man, who was seated in an electric wheelchair, told an eyewitness that he was carrying a ***** before hurling two Molotov cocktails at the building.

While there were flames, the damage was minor.

The senior members of the royal family, King Harald V and Queen Sonja, and Crown Prince Haakon and Princess Mette-Marit were not in the palace at the time although one unnamed royal was in the building.

A defence lawyer for the man, reportedly a Belarusian citizen, told TV2 that he had not intended to injure anyone and that his act had been a “cry for help”.
