“The most proven mouthpiece in Norway at the best prices in Norway!”

Idar Vollvik writes this on his public Facebook page on Friday evening at 8pm, with a link to the much-talked about Ludostore.

About three hours later, the post received 250 reactions and a handful of comments. For Nettavisen, Vollvik says his lawyer received an email on Friday night that the Norwegian Medicines Agency had lifted the ban on the sale of sanitary napkins.

– We are very happy about that, says Vollvik himself to the newspaper.

The online newspaper has contacted the Norwegian Medicines Agency, which confirms that the sales ban does not apply to medical sanitary pads that meet the requirements of the regulation.

Recognized repackaging

He has assaulted the businessman this fall.

It was in early September that Vollvik was arrested by the police, after an action against his premises in Minde in Bergen. He was eventually charged with violating the Medical Device Law. It was through the Ludostore and Vovi companies that Vollvik has sold face masks.

The police thought his Vovi company was repackaged face masks and sold non-medical as well as medical face masks.

Vollvik admitted that he wrapped the bandages around his mouth, but denied his criminal guilt. It has been just over two weeks since he was released. Around the same time, it became clear that Anita Vollvik is also accused of the same as his husband. He has also denied criminal guilt.

– I must also deeply regret the inconvenience in relation to customers who have already received incorrectly labeled masks or have had to wait for their orders. We are in full swing to clean this up. We will of course also go with the import link to make sure they improve their quality control routines, Idar Vollvik wrote in a press release in early September.

Norway’s first TV billionaire

At the beginning of the millennium, Idar Vollvik became known for making Chess a fast-growing mobile company by offering cheap calling minutes and text messages.

– When we bought the company, it only had 600 clients who had been acquiring for two years. One month after the acquisition, we had 4,000 clients. The same year we won a price survey at Dagbladet, which said you could save 6,000 kroner a year by becoming a Chess customer, Vollvik told DN in 2018.

Vollvik sold the company to TeliaSonera for NOK 1.77 billion, a sale that, according to Vollvik himself, gave him a profit of NOK 1.1 billion and made him Norway’s first tele millionaire.

However, that seal did not become permanent. The not very lucrative business of the Vollvik daytraders meant that he lost all the money he made from the sale of Chess. In retrospect, Vollvik has been behind a number of companies that failed.

In 2009, Vollvik tried to repeat the success of Chess, when he founded the company Ludo Mobil as. Chess acquired the company in 2012.(Terms)Copyright Dagens Næringsliv AS and / or our suppliers.
