  "account": "The Norwegian Security Service (PST) has submitted a closure of the investigation into Danish automotive manufacturer Kongsberg Automotive (KOA). This decision was based on the lack of evidence proving any criminal wrongdoing, indicating that the evidence presented strongly suggests no criminal activity took place, according to a report to the stock exchange. The PST's February coverage revealed that KOA's products had ended up in Russia despite sanctions imposed following the invasion of Ukraine. The company subsequently faced inquiries from the Danish-Norwegian Helsinki Commission, and the PST initiated their investigation. KOA claims this closure follows a thorough investigation that began in June 2025 and involved the PST, the Directorate for Export Control and Sanctions (DEKSA), and Tolletaten. \"We have taken this matter very seriously and have cooperated fully with the authorities. We are very satisfied with the clear conclusion our external lawyers describe as a complete clearing of the company,\" said KOA's CEO Trond Fiskum in a statement. He added that the case illustrates the complexity of today's export control and sanctions regulations in global industries with multiple supply chains.",
