The man had been charged with aiding and abetting murder.
Now the investigation has shown that the suspicion against the man was incorrect and that it was not right for the police to charge him in the case, says the man's defense attorney Marius Dietrichson to VG.
A higher prosecutor has now come to the conclusion that he is innocent, that he did not do what he was charged with. We are satisfied with the conclusion, but believe that it should have come earlier, he says.
As the charge is dropped, there are no defendants in the investigation into Anne-Elisabeth Hagen's disappearance from her home in Lørenskog in the autumn of 2018. The charge against her husband Tom Hagen was dropped last year and the charge against two other people has been dropped earlier this year.
