At least three more firms are under investigation over allegations
of tax fraud relating to carbon emissions, according to Norwegian
police.
Two companies were known to be under investigation, but police
said that they were looking into several others.
"We are looking into several companies that have bought and
handled CO2 quotas from each other.
Their number is in the range of around five, but there can
be more," said Asbjoerg Lykkjen, a police lawyer at the finance
and environment unit of Oslo police.
Two men have so far been arrested and held. "We don't rule
out the possibility that there could be more arrests," Lykkjen
told Reuters.
