Tromsø’s Nordlys newspaper gives report that two attorneys are detained in Nord- Troms district court and charged with alleged drug-crime offenses.

The two detainees have been appointed Bjørn Arild Langenes and Jan Christian Kvanvik as legal councilors, but Nordlys was unable to gain official comment from either office.

No further information was available at post.
