Skjold will not comment about how much Keshvari is being charged with submitting.
“There are various reasons why this has taken so long. Among other things,there are health reasons,and it has taken time to get documents from the police and estimate questioning,” said Keshvari’s defender, lawyer Arne Gunnar Aas, to P4 Thursday.
The police will not go into further detail or comment to Aftenposten.
