Christer Tromsdal was in 2012 sentenced to six years in prison for a total of 14 fraud or attempted fraud, including real estate transaction in Skuggevik.
The judgment was in 2013 overturned by Court of Appeal, because of an incompetent professional judge.
Surprisingly vending
New treatment was originally scheduled for 1 December this year, but was postponed to December 16 because Tromsdal agreed to let themselves be heard by the finance guards.
During the interrogations took matters a surprising turn. Tromsdal, previously deny everything for scams, decided namely to confess all charges. It informs his lawyer Erling O. Lyngtveit said.
– Tromsdal want to finish this and get started and take care of his life, says Lyngtveit said.
Manipulated bid
The property in Tvedestrand who Tromsdal is accused of having manipulated the price of, located in Skuggevik, on both sides of Highway 410 between Tvedestrand and Arendal.
It is regulated 92 residential units on the property and valuation in 2005 was 9.1 million, including a quay to 600,000 dollars.
By withhold information, use straw men and add phony bids, managed Christer Tromsdal in 2006 to achieve 18.5 million kroner for the property. He should have released out to be another person when he entered the fake bids.
Misguided bank
In 2008 the property was sold again, this time for 15.3 million respectively. Those who bought the property from Tromsdal lost in other words over 3.2 million on the trade. Tromsdal was otherwise involved also in this sale.
According to the verdict will he have misled the bank, DNB, to believe that the property was purchased for 29.5 milllion dollars. Bank perceived thus the buyer fielded a security of 14.5 million, ie almost 50 per cent of the property value, while the real security was only 300.00 million, ie barely two percent of the property value.
One of the tricks Tromsdal should have used to mislead the bank was that when he gave the phone number of the buyer, he gave in reality the phone number of one of their own phones. When the bank then called and made contact with the “buyer”, it was in reality Tromsdal they talked. This procedure shall Tromsdal have used on several occasions.
Two co-defendants
In its judgment of 2012, which also was repealed the following year because of an incompetent professional judge, was Tromsdal also sentenced confiscation of 10.4 million. He was also sentenced to pay closer 1.7 million in ertstatning DNB.
Two co-defendants, property consultant Anthony Bratli and art dealer Terje Hvidsten, was also found guilty of fraud for property trading in Skuggevik. For this and several other conditions were the two respectively four years and six months in jail and three years and nine months in prison, plus forfeiture of respectively 5.5 million and 3.8 million.
The prosecutor takes nothing for granted
Prosecutor Geir Kavlie Økokrim is the prosecutor in the case against Tromsdal and the two co-defendants. He confirmed NTB that lawyer Lyngtveit says that the client has laid all the cards on the table in the interrogation with the police in the past two weeks.
– Now it only remains that Tromsdal also says the same thing when the right set on Tuesday, says Kavlie said.
Will trap accomplices
After he confessed all the facts in the indictment, can Tromsdal probably expect a certain penalty discount. According his lawyer, will Tromsdal not spare anyone in his new explanation, but tell about their own as well as those co-defendants role.
– He’s going to give an open and full explanation of what he has done and what other persons, whether they are involved in the case as accomplices or they are not accused in the case have been made, says Lyngtveit said.
