Stordalen appeared on Tuesday morning in the courtroom for the tax case that goes back more than ten years in time. The background is that the Norwegian businessman withdrew more than 795 million Norwegian kronor from the company Oslo Properties, which was later converted into Strawberry Fields, his current company where Stordalen's hotel business is included.
The Norwegian tax authority considered that Stordalen had not paid tax and also got it right in the district court, a verdict that Stordalen has contested.
