Norway's right-wing fisherman Per Sandberg, 58, has been forced to resign after the summer holiday in Iran with the beauty queen Bahareh Letnes, reports AB.



The formal departure point is that he brought his service phone, which is a violation of ministers.

But there are also suspicions that the girlfriend, who became Miss Iran in 2013, is the spy of the Islamic regime.


The Prime Minister and Supreme Leader Erna Solberg criticized Sandberg for not having reported the trip to the government office or leaving the service phone at home. It is the Norwegian Security PST PST recommendation for state council when traveling to countries where Norway has no security policy cooperation.

Even party colleagues have strongly criticized Sandberg's actions and Norway's former head of the military intelligence service Kjell Grandhagen is convinced that the phone was hacked during the visit. Currently, the mobile is being investigated by security police technicians. Sandberg's positive Facebook posts from Iran also received criticism because he did not mention the regime's human rights violations:

"Tourism to Iran is increasing strongly, Iran is an exciting place to travel around and very rich in culture, beautiful scenery and thousands of traditions," he wrote.

Celebrated Persian New Year
Sandberg's positive Facebook post from Iran also received criticism because he did not mention the regime's human rights violations:

"Tourism to Iran is increasing strongly, Iran is an exciting place to travel around and very rich in culture, beautiful scenery and thousands of traditions," he wrote.

But perhaps he could still have stayed if it was not for the relationship with the half-old, Iranian-born Bahareh Letnes. Together with her, in March 2018, he celebrated the Iranian New Year, Nouruz, at the Islamic Republic of Iran's Embassy in Oslo.

Bahareh was invited to the celebration even though she, as a 13 year old, came to Norway as a single refugee, fleeing from her family and a waiting forcibly marriage in Iran. In 2008 she received asylum in Norway, and was adopted by a Norwegian couple.

Water beauty contest
A few years later, she suddenly became Miss Iran 2013, and then she has won two more Iranian beauty contests. In Norway, she has organized Iranian concerts and film festivals, but denies that she is attached to the Islamic regime:

- I am being made as a spy for Iran. But then I had been a really bad spy. After all publicity, I had left the country a long time ago, says Letnes to Adresseavisen.

Sandberg's defense against all criticism has always been that he was on a private holiday with his girlfriend in Iran, and that he visited the New Year's Eve at the embassy as an individual. At the same time, he acknowledged that it was incorrect to bring the service phone and not to notify the Prime Minister his destination.

The relationship between Letnes and the minister - who is currently divorced by government colleague Line Mariam Sandberg (FrP) - became known only after the trip to Iran.
