Cezinando charged with design furniture theft – NRK Norway – Overview of news from different parts of the country
In July last year, the police arrested and charged several people for a number of serious thefts designer furniture and luxury items.
The police linked to at least 18 different conditions in the Oslo area.
Values worth several hundred thousand kroner had been stolen. NRK has previously mentioned that a well-known Norwegian musician is charged in the case.
The 26-year-old rapper Cezinando is charged with five thefts of furniture for around 380,000. According to defense counsel Mette Yvonne Larsen, the claim for compensation against him has now been greatly reduced after many pieces of furniture have been returned.
The artist’s defender has previously told NRK that he deeply regrets.
Today she says that he has put all the cards on the table and done what he can to clean up after himself.
– He has now done everything in his power to repair the damage, and looks back on what happened as a chapter in his life during the corona pandemic that has now passed. He wants to take his punishment and looks forward to life as an artist and musician, says Mette Yvonne Larsen.
– Why did he do that?
– He, like several others, has experienced the corona pandemic and the total closure of society as a great burden and this has affected him to a great extent. This is not an excuse to commit criminal acts, but it is an explanation, says Larsen.
According to his defender, the claim for compensation against him has been greatly reduced after many pieces of furniture were returned.
– The prosecutor has proposed in his endorsement that the total claim for compensation should be approx. NOK 30,000 because the accused has made a significant effort to return all objects, objects that have not been in his possession, says Larsen.
Must appear in the district court
Police attorney Nora Eek-Nilsen does not want to comment on the case. Therefore, it is not known what kind of punishment the police think the 26-year-old should receive.
The defender believes that there may be talk of a shit reaction in the form of community punishment or a short-term unconditional reaction.
– It is thus far from the sums that the media operate with that is a fact, says Mette Yvonne Larsen to NRK.
Since Cezinando has admitted everything he is charged with, he must appear in Oslo District Court in a so-called confession case in May.
No confession is a simplified procedure where the criminal case is decided without a charge decision and main hearing. The accused must give an unreserved confession and is therefore given a penalty discount.
