The National Security Authority (NSM) of Norway is engaging with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (UD) and the police following the discovery of a substantial number of classified documents in the basement storage of Terje Rød-Larsen and Mona Juul. Press representative Mari Hverven confirmed that there is ongoing communication to assess the situation. This finding has raised concerns about potential security breaches related to the handling of sensitive information.

On Friday, Økokrim, Norway's National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime, announced that a significant volume of documents was uncovered in the couple's storage area, including several labeled as "strictly confidential" and one marked "secret." The NSM emphasized that they routinely evaluate the need for oversight when informed of possible violations of the security law, indicating the seriousness with which they view these findings.

The discovery of these documents has prompted Økokrim to notify that they will be handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as they do not pertain to any current corruption investigations involving the couple. This situation highlights the intersection of national security and legal investigations in Norway, and it underscores the importance of maintaining the integrity of sensitive information among public figures.
