Eirik Jensen new book: Cappelen was “our most productive informant” – Aftenposten

“After 30 years on the inside of Norway’s worst criminal groups and Oslo police most exciting sections, I found myself suddenly in a completely different inside.”

It writes the corruption and drug accused police leader Eric Jensen in his book “On the inside. The story of my politiliv» published tomorrow on Kagge publishers.

In the chapter called ” dagger in the back “he says that he during the first interrogation did not understand what it was about, but he understood that it was Gjermund Cappelen involved.

Cappelen, who has been alias “Henry” in Jensen’s book, described as “a man who since the 1990s have helped police with a number of famous and lesser known cases”.

– An encyclopaedia of drugs

According to Jensen Cappelen been his informant through much of his police career. “He’s an encyclopedia when it comes to drug-related matters in Norway and abroad. Quite unique compared with other informants. “

He writes that Cappelen contributed enrome knowledge of criminal organizations, networks, methods, codes and people who have driven heavy organized crime nationally and internationally over time.



– Has stretched me very far Cappelen

He says in the book that Cappelen lived under tremendous pressure, as a kind of double agent, and he writes that “pushed from one of these cases was too much for him, “before proceeding to describe Cappelens drug abuse, Aftenposten reported earlier.

He descriptive Cappelen as” our most productive informant “from time when he headed gang project and department Special Operations.

He writes that he was hurt and shocked that Cappelen had pulled him into the case. Cappelen “was one I had stretched me very far. Police had actually helped to save his life. To go from a trust relationship based on a long history to be put in the pillory, it realized I just can not. “

He writes that he could not understand what was Cappelens motive.” The more I thought about it, the clearer it became to me: Everything was possible, “writes Jensen in the book.

Jensen refuses culpability, and has constantly asserted itself innocent. He has previously suggested that pressure from criminal groups may be the reason why Cappelen had named Jensen as a helper.

Norwegian Bureau for the Investigation of Police Affairs believes to link Jensen importation of at least 80 kilograms of hashish. Central to the case is that which shall be more hundred text messages between Jensen and Cappelen, of which a large amount is recreated, previously deleted text messages from different phones.

The suspicion against Jensen is also tied to the renovation of a bathroom that Cappelen shall have funded a cash handover from Cappelen to Jensen, and cash deposits totaling over 300,000 million over several years, several of them shortly after he had met Cappelen.

– Could lead to death sentence

Jensen also describes interrogations he sat in with the Bureau.

“It was easy for me to respond to specific circumstances in my privacy, but when we talked about the business I have driven as an informant treats, we quickly came into the working methods and other details which are subject to strict confidentiality, “writes Jensen.

He said that there was much he could not explain the interrogations, because he felt responsible for them he had recruited as informants. To disclose information about her informants “may be synonymous with a death sentence for them I extradite” writes Jensen in the book.

According to Jensen led his reticence to “bad mood” in interrogations.

“Every time we came into these topics I got wisecracks from one questioning the leader, and when I was pissed off. I took this seriously, this is not just about me, I sat with people’s lives in their hands,” he writes .

Workplace Conflict

Jensen also devotes considerable space to the labor dispute that ended up that he was relocated to a counselor still tingling in the police commissioner strategic staff.

The conflict bottomed said Jensen including in that section for special operations in Oslo increasingly prioritizing assistance to other drug cases elsewhere in the country, a development Jensen disagreed. He thought that this went beyond the capacity to produce their own affairs and conduct information gathering among their informants.
