– It will probably be necessary to talk about very sensitive policing methods, and Jensen has said that he will reveal a lot of things, says Jensen said.
Jensen, who is accused of gross corruption and complicity in serious narcotics crime, told Dagbladet on Monday that he is going to talk about “big, secret national projects” during the 16-week trial starting in August.
– Uncertain how much the public gets to know
Jensen has always denied guilt, but admits he has operated in a borderland to build up a network of informants. Of police research, this borderland a not unknown phenomenon. Here are especially “The noble cause” -korrupsjonen a recurring theme, according to Jensen.

– This denotes a phenomenon in which the police take the criminal procedure freedoms to realize their social responsibilities and their duties. It is short, the purpose justifies the means, argues the professor.
Finstad emphasizes that she does not know Jensen case of other than what has been in the papers, but a statement of principle.
– “Edel corruption” is a well known phenomenon. It is not necessarily about money, she says, referring to the international research.
There are several examples of police break rules “in order to do their job.”
– The man then corrupts, the rule of law and police ethics . If it is “noble corruption” in the picture here, it is another key question of whether more than Eirik Jensen has been involved in this.
– Do not save any
Dagbladet says Jensen also that he “is not going to save anyone” in the upcoming trial.
– From the upper prosecutors and down they have known what I’ve done. I’ve had managers in the police all the way has given me framework for what I have done for the past 25 years, says Jensen.
Criminology Professor Finstad do not think necessarily that the public and the press will be taking part in all Jensen explains the Oslo police inner life in court.
– if the doors are closed, it is uncertain how much the public will get to know about what actually happened, says Jensen.

Divided opinions in Oslo police
It is expected that several of Jensen’s former and current colleagues are called to testify in the trial in August.
After the charges against Jensen became known Monday, said deputy police chief Sveinung Sponheim, who is Jensen’s immediate superior in the Oslo police, the charges against Jensen is “the most serious that is taken out against a police officer ever.”
another of Jensen’s former colleagues, ex-cop John Malden, is convinced Jensens innocence. Malden told NRK on Monday that he believes Jensen that Cappelen only have been an informant for the police top.
