Millionaire Suspected of Murder of Wife (Ransom Monero)

While the wealthy husband has been claiming for more than a year that his women has been removed and that thugs are asking for a significant ransom in Monero (XMR), the Norwegian police now suspects him of killing him.

The story goes back to the end of 2018, when Anne-Elisabeth Falkevik Hagen, the billionaire's wife Tom hagen, disappeared and was the subject of a ransom note about 9 million euros payable only through cryptocurrency Monero (XMR).

According to Reuters, the Norwegian authorities arrested this Tuesday Tom hagen and suspects of having committed or sponsored the murder, while trying to send the investigators on a false track.

After 18 months of investigation, police have reached a point where they have reason to suspect Tom hagen murder or conspiracy to murder, "said police lawyer Aase Kjustad Eriksson.

Inspector Tommy Broeske clarified that there were no no kidnapping or negotiations, and that there was a desire to hide the truth.

Hagen’s lawyer, Svein Holden, said his client denied any such charges.

He firmly maintains that it has nothing to do with it, ”he said.

The businessman, whose net worth is estimated at $ 200 million, will appear in court on Wednesday. In Norway, being suspected of a crime allows the police to make an arrest directly.
