The man in the 50s acknowledged partial guilt for tax evasion, but thought the amount was 7.9 million. He testified in court on Thursday and had trouble explaining why it was not filed tax returns or paid taxes.
– Negative newspaper articles meant I lost patients and got financial problems, explained the defendant was honest that the family had high living standards including big house and expensive car.
The defendant dentist began his statement by reading from a note he had written before the trial to try to explain why things was that they were.
Can not remember
He explained how it all started with a patient who complained about the treatment, which eventually ended with several articles in the local newspaper in 2011 where he and dental clinic was identified.

– Life went from being happy to hell, said the dentist.
He reads quickly and must occasionally take breaks to wipe the tears and accumulate. He told how family life, economics, his career and clinic collapsed after newspaper headlines, and that everything was chaos. Much of the period is a fog and I can not remember so much of the time, explained the defendant.
You mean he owned apartment
He is charged bounndragelse in connection with the settlement after one of his companies went bankrupt. He should not have told the trustee that the company owned a property in Spain, and tried thus evading NOK 3.2 million.
The liquidator discovered this and took the seizure of property, according to the indictment. This denied the defendant guilty for. He explained in court that he and his wife had bought the apartment from the company in 2012, and that therefore there were those who owned the place and not the company.
Prosecutor Richard Roed wondered why police thus not found purchase contract under raid summer 2013, but it did not know the accused.
Did not contract
When he was asked what he owned and what the company owned in police interview in 2013, he said on two occasions that it was the company.
– Why did you say that the company owned the apartment, if it was you who owned it? You explained the right when it mattered car and liabilities, wondered prosecutor Roed on.
– I do not know, I was in shock. Everything was chaotic. I do not remember everything I said. Most of police interviews is just a fog, explained dentist.
– Did you purchase to the trustee?
– No, he threatened me quickly with bounndragelse. I was completely run down.
Both tax authorities and trustee explained in court that they are confident that it was the company that owned the apartment.
Expensed horse
He is also accused of having expensed for much of the firm. Including mobile to a family member or rental of stall for horses.
– There and then I thought that stall rent was good for health. It allowed me to do my job well and that therefore there was just expensing it. When it comes to mobile, so it was not I who brought the vouchers. I see now that I had a responsibility to follow as head of the firm, said the defendant dentist in his testimony.
It has been announced that two insurance companies will request a refund of sickness benefits.
