The Norwegian Police and Public Roads Administration believe that the man has made money helping candidates cheat on their driving test in many different places in Norway. Now he is accused.
According to the indictment, the man is said to have assisted 19 people by the candidates with a T-shirt with a specially sewn pocket on the chest where an iPhone with a camera was placed, as well as a radio transmitter associated with a speaker attached to the Body.
The police claim that 15 of them have decided to impose fines of 8,000 crowns.
– Four have not approved the fine, says police lawyer Gunnveig Breistein. The aim is for these cases to be prosecuted together with the alleged director at Sunnhordland District Court in Stord on Monday 23rd November.
– He does not plead guilty in the case, says Linda Ellefsen Eide.
She is an advocate for the man who is said to have organized the hoax and who was in custody for three months in 2018.

It was the Norwegian Public Roads Administration that discovered the traps they believe took place in 2017 and 2018 at many different traffic stations, including Oslo, Mandal, Kristiansund, Stord, Bergen, Tromsø, and Notodden.
Help on the ear
– They have had an assistant abroad who was connected by bluetooth, camera and earplug so that the assistant could see the evidence and give the correct answer to the ear, says Jon Molnes, head of the crime section of the Administration of Norwegian Public Roads, to VG.
It states that both the main defendants and those who allegedly cheated are of foreign origin.
– It has brought clients in foreign environments and has worked in a large geographical area, says Molnes, noting that this is not the first time that big traps have been discovered. In 2018, VG reported a similar case.
Molnes says the road authority has been given good routines to expose people who cheat on the theory test and that it was the observing guards who warned.

– Now we have experienced through two cases that this is organized and facilitated by sponsors who make a lot of money from it, says Molnes, who praises the interdisciplinary cooperation they have had with the police.
Those who cool off not only run the risk of fines or unconditional imprisonment.
– If you’ve cheated, the test is changed to “failed” and you can get up to a year of quarantine before you can go back up, says Molnes.
In the indictment, the police also warn that they will confiscate the dividend of the culprit, but without specifying how much it is. They also want to confiscate the communication equipment that was used.
