On Tuesday, he was awarded approximately 2.7 million Norwegian kronor in damages, according to NRK.

Since he was arrested two years ago, there have been many legal twists and turns, but in February this year, he was finally fully acquitted. The Court of Appeal then ruled that the man reasonably could not have known that he was doing anything illegal.

For me personally, this is a matter of principle. The state must be held accountable for its actions, the man said about his claim for damages to NRK in April.

The drone-flying man is the son of a well-known Russian businessman who is said to have ties to Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
