  "account": "Telenor is facing scrutiny from PST and Kripos for suspected violations of sanctions law and complicity in crimes against humanity, both related to the company's earlier operations in Myanmar. No individuals have been named or investigated, according to the company. Thomas Midteide, Telenor's Director of Communications and Corporate Affairs, stated at a press conference that they are aware of the matter but it is not new. The police have come to a different conclusion, he added. On Tuesday, the company had a brief meeting with PST and Kripos to discuss the allegations, and they will now proceed. They have requested several documents, including correspondence, from Telenor. Midteide expressed uncertainty about what the company could have done differently, as it was a challenging situation with no good options. One employee was killed in Myanmar during a brutal military coup. Midteide emphasized that most employees are devastated and many had gone to Myanmar to support democracy and change. He noted that the police have requested a long list of documents, and Telenor is willing to provide them. He added that there may be documents not previously available that the police are interested in. Telenor has previously provided many documents to the police on the matter. Midteide reiterated that this is only an investigation and that Telenor takes it very seriously. He also mentioned that Telenor has previously supplied many documents to the police on the matter and that the police may be interested in documents they previously did not have.",
