Anders Brosveet, the lawyer for Jagland, stated that the investigation by Økokrim will take a significant amount of time because of the extensive information they need to sift through. Jagland was questioned by Økokrim on Thursday, and according to his lawyer, it will take several weeks just to analyze the details that emerged during the initial interrogation.

Brosveet emphasized that Jagland provided a thorough explanation during the interview and expressed confidence that his client has not committed any criminal acts. He highlighted that Jagland is not only willing to cooperate but has been collaborating with the authorities from the very beginning of the investigation.

This case illustrates the complexities involved in investigations of this nature, particularly when substantial information is involved. The drawn-out timeline suggested by Jagland's legal team raises questions about the investigation's implications for Jagland and what effects it may have on his public image and professional standing in Norway.
