The target of killing Tom Hagen (70) was doing a long and lengthy interrogation. Now you may not want to be questioned. These are the main problems to which the police will have answers.
Police only had two brief interrogations with Tom Hagen before he was released before the weekend. Initially he was willing to explain himself to the police, but now this may have changed.
– We have to make an ongoing assessment of whether to intervene when the court determines that there are not even reasonable grounds to suspect. The garden wants to help solve the case, but with the police starting point now, you shouldn’t be asked. Police have yet to request further questioning, defendant Svein Holden tells VG.
Tip
Although Tom Hagen was released, he is still charged with murder or complicity in the murder of his wife Anne-Elisabeth Hagen. He denies criminal charges and refuses to have anything to do with the disappearance.
Information for VG: Such is Tom Hagen’s video alibi
The two police officers who have been responsible for the interrogations are carefully selected for the task, and both have extensive experience in interrogation in serious criminal cases.
According to VG’s information, the police had planned and reviewed the structure of the interrogations for several weeks before the arrest two weeks ago.
The tradition in the Norwegian police is that the accused first explains himself freely. Later, the interrogations become increasingly detailed and confrontational, based on free explanation and evidence from the case.
VG may present some of the core problems to which the police want answers.
One of the first police questions about Tom Hagen is the relationship with the disappearance of Anne-Elisabeth Hagen. In search of a possible motive, he will be asked about marriage for 49 years. The aforementioned marriage agreement and the economy between them are central issues for the police.
After VG was informed, the marriage has sometimes been turbulent, and the police want to hear Tom Hagen’s point of view about the information that emerged from the police interrogation and extensive investigations.
As VG has mentioned, business partner and family friend Glenn Hartmann-Hansen, as well as the couple of friends who were in the theater with the Hagen couple the night before the disappearance, said that everything seemed normal in the days before.

Police have mapped all of Tom Hagen’s movements the day his wife disappeared. The key words for the police are what are known as nonconformities today.
After VG is reported, Tom Hagen behaves slightly differently compared to routines and movement patterns from other days. Discrepancies include when you go to work, when you go home, and what you do in the workplace.
This may have natural explanations, and even he has explained, among other things, that he went home earlier because his wife did not answer him on the phone. He also said that the two had plans later that day.
Police headaches: More holes in the timeline
The police have been working on mapping all of Tom Hagen’s relationships. Who does he know? Who have you been in contact with?
Especially in the search for one or more possible helpers, the police are interested in asking in depth about all their connections. Contact between Tom Hagen and the accused man in his 30s with cryptographic knowledge will be the topic. When the contact started and when it ended are key questions for the police.
He will be asked questions, among other things, about various meetings with the man in his 30s, who among other things should have dealt with businesses and cryptocurrencies, VG reported.
The man denies the criminal charge for contributing to a serious deprivation of liberty. His advocate has said the man experiences the charges as “absurd.”
Reject criminal charges: This is the accused man with cryptographic knowledge
VG is informed that the discoveries at the scene are among the evidence that forms the basis of the murder charge. Here, the criminals found, among other things, DNA traces of Tom Hagen and biological traces of Anne-Elisabeth Hagen.
The results are of particular interest to the police, despite being found in the house where they both lived, VG is informed. Police also found prints of an Sprox shoe, Anne-Elisabeth Hagen’s clothing and personal belongings, her phone, a threat letter, an envelope and a strip.
Tom Hagen will be asked about any trace on the scene in any interrogation, and various findings that police say may indicate his involvement in the case.
VG has previously mentioned the video alibi, which shows Tom Hagen’s car driving the day of the workplace disappearance. If the recording is used, he is not at the house in Sloraveien when a criminal action against his wife is likely to take place.

Both before and after Tom Hagen’s arrest, police have confiscated several properties related to the billionaire. They want to ask you about this.
It has also been a great project for the police to find out when, where and who bought Sprox shoes, letterheads, envelopes and strips. It will be crucial for the police to hear Tom Hagen’s explanation of these articles, now that he is charged with murder.
Hagen Brothers: Convinced that Tom is innocent
- Cryptocurrency and digital experience
Tom Hagen’s digital skills and relationship with cryptocurrencies are of particular interest to the police. They are aware that it has shown interest in the cryptocurrency in recent years, but then primarily as an investment object, VG is informed. At the same time, he has expressed little digital experience. Several of his acquaintances have also said this. This the police will drill.
Watch the video, as the instructions in the threat letter were:
- Anne-Elisabeth Hagen’s movements
Tom Hagen will be asked about his wife’s movements that morning. Police analyzed their movements and believe they come to a complete stop sometime early in the morning, VG reported.
At 09:14, he should have been in a two-minute phone conversation with a family member. The police have previously been mentioned as the last sign of life. Earlier in the morning you should have had a phone conversation with a person employed by Tom Hagen.
Police previously stated that Anne-Elisabeth Hagen may have been the subject of a criminal act early in the morning after the 9/14 call.
Throughout the investigation, Tom Hagen has developed his own theories about how his wife may have disappeared and who could be behind it.
VG has previously discussed his main theory, which is that the answer lies in the local environment. Tom Hagen, among other things, has written to the police that there may be someone who knows him behind. He also mentioned specific names to the police. This will also be subject to any question.

When asked about Tom Hagen’s police interrogation and if he wants to be interrogated further, prosecutor Haris Hrenovica replied in an email on Monday:
– The police want to continue questioning Tom Hagen, but we do not want to give more details about it.
Before the release, VG asked the prosecutor for comments on the main points of this case. He declined to comment on the subject of any question, but wrote the following:
– In a case of such a nature and scope, there will be many problems that the police are interested in obtaining the defendant’s explanation. We anticipate that it will take time to review the various topics appropriately. The issue we want to ask the accused about is a matter between the police and Tom Hagen.
