The verdict was issued in Sogn og Fjordane district court.

The man must also pay legal costs of NOK 5,000. According to the verdict, the man allegedly sent a threatening message to the minister in May. 

The fact that the man was previously not punished and that he confessed to the police during questioning affected the sentence.
