Police release pimping suspects in Trøndelag
Police in Trøndelag have released Tom Ketil Krogstad and another man in his sixties following four weeks in custody, according to NRK Norge. The two were arrested in October and charged with pimping under section 315 of the Penal Code.
– We have made good use of the four weeks and believe we have secured the evidence that was necessary, both digital evidence and through interviews, says prosecutor Gina Bjørgum Salvesen at Trøndelag police district.
The men were remanded in custody on 18 October due to the risk of evidence tampering. Police have now decided not to request further detention.
Both remain charged, and police state that the grounds for suspicion have been strengthened through the investigation. The number of suspects and alleged victims in the case is unchanged. The door to the sex club Afrodisia was sealed in connection with the case.
