The police withheld communication with the Princess around the wedding in Geiranger

The police probably broke the law several times when they failed to publish several critical e-mails from Märtha Louise's management.

Princess Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett's management sent several harsh emails to the police in Møre and Romsdal this summer about the wedding in Geiranger.

Yesterday, it became known that they blamed the police for allowing media to film from the air.

Now, it turns out that the e-mails went like ping-pong balls between the management and the police for several weeks before the argument was put to rest. Only this week did the police decide to publish them in the postal journal, as they are obliged to do.

This means that the police have kept a number of documents about the wedding secret for a long time.

- It is deeply regrettable to see that the police do not have greater respect for the principle of openness than this suggests, says General Secretary Reidun Kjelling Nybø of the Norwegian Editors' Association.

She says it is very important for journalists that the police also follow the law and keep a record of all letters and e-mails on an ongoing basis.

Several documents disappeared

The e-mails about the controversial drone filming over Geiranger are not the only documents that never appeared in the police records - until now:

Several e-mails dated April following a meeting between the police, the World Heritage Center and the wedding hotel appeared in the postal journal this week.

The same applies to e-mails from the end of May from the police to the princess's management, with dialogue around a press release that was to be sent out.

Also, e-mails from the mayor of Stranda to the police on 23 May only became visible this week.

This is what the police should have done

The police must keep continuous postal records of all incoming and outgoing mail. This applies to all public institutions and is laid down in the Public Officials Act, the Archives Act, and the Archives Regulations. This should enable most people—and the press—to follow what is happening.

The civil ombudsman has stated several times that record-keeping must be done continuously and as quickly as possible:

"The ombudsman finds reason to point out that the department must organise its work in such a way that record-keeping takes place continuously and as quickly as practically possible, also during periods of high work pressure or delays in a case. Gradual record-keeping, and especially record-keeping that is postponed until after the case has ended or until the case is less relevant could lead to the perception that the rules on transparency [are being] disregarded."

- Haven't tried to keep anything secret

All summer, the police have published postal records, but they have not attached the e-mails about the wedding. Department director Iselin Nevstad Øvrelid in Møre and Romsdal police district blames, among other things, high work pressure.

- The police have not tried to keep anything secret. We are dependent on talking to others in the organization to take care of preparedness, confidentiality and safety. It's not that we don't want to publish it, but we have to be confident that what we publish is correct, she says.

- But they don't need two months for that, do they?

- We had to use the time it took so that we could be sure that everything was taken care of. But we should certainly have recorded it earlier, she says.

The police recently received criticism from the bride and groom's management for revealing that the wedding was to take place outside, close to the hotel.

- Clear violation of the law

Lawyer Kristine Foss in the Press Association states that the police's handling of the e-mails about the wedding breaks the law.

- The police are breaking the law because they are withholding the e-mails for such a long time. It violates the entire purpose of the legislation, Foss asserts.

- But the police point to high work pressure and the need to clarify questions about, among other things, the duty of confidentiality and safety. Isn't that a point?

- Such conditions can mean that it can take a few extra days, but it shouldn't take several months, she says.

She underlines that the whole point of keeping records is that people should be able to continuously monitor what official establishments are doing.

Will attempt to change practice

Department director Iselin Nevstad Øvrelid firmly denies that the police have received instructions from Märtha Louise's management to play tricks with the postal record. As far as she knows, all relevant documents should now be on the table.

- We should have recorded this earlier, and we just have to take that with us. We shall strive to ensure that it is done as the Public Officials Act and the Archive Regulations say.

General Secretary Reidun Kjelling Nybø of the Press Association believes it's the only thing missing.

- They should of course keep records in the postal record continuously, that is what they are obliged to do according to the legislation.

23.06.2023 Tag 15 in Norwegen 🇳🇴 Heute Morgen mussten wir unseren Plan ändern. Es hat über Nacht geregnet und die Wolken hingen tief in den Bergen. Wir sind also nicht zum Rampestreken Aussichtspunkt gelaufen sondern waren erst mal einkaufen. Danach ging es direkt zu den Trollstigen. Dies ist eine der bekanntesten Touristen-Straßen (Passstraße) - an der Gebirgswand schlängelt sich 11 Kurven steil hinauf (bzw. hinunter). Auf der Fahrt nach oben hielten wir immer mal wieder an, machten Fotos und bewunderten (mal wieder) Wasserfälle. Oben angekommen parkten wir am Parkplatz und liefen zu den Aussichtsplattformen. Es war super viel los, da auch zahlreiche Busse mit Touristen hinauf fuhren. Wir hatten Glück und konnten die Straße von oben fotografieren. Kurze Zeit später kam eine Wolke und schob sich wie eine weiße Wand zwischen uns und die Aussicht. Nach unten sahen wir wirklich gar nichts mehr. 🙈 Wir schlenderten noch durch den Souvenirladen und fuhren weiter über den Pass, nahmen die Fähre von Liabygda nach Stranda und dann ging es weiter Richtung Hellesylt am Sunnylvsfjord. Als wir ankamen sahen wir gleich den riesen Wasserfall der durch die Ortschaft floss. Wir suchten uns ein Übernachtungsplätzchen in der Nähe von einem Strand, neben dem Fähranleger. Dann liefen wir noch etwas am Wasser entlang, gingen in ein Souvenirladen und machten uns anschließend etwas zu essen. Beim Essen beobachteten wir ein Kreutzfahrtschiff. Es war die Mein Schiff 3. Es war ein beeindruckendes Bild wie sie in den Hafen einlief. Wir machten noch einen kleinen Spaziergang zum Kreutzfahrtschiff und beobachteten das Treiben vor Ort. Mittlerweile sind wir wieder beim Camper angekommen, schrieben Tagebuch und gehen dann schlafen.
