Adding to the day's significant news, a 23-year-old Norwegian woman has reportedly uncovered and exposed an international fraud network, leading to a major criminal investigation. Meanwhile, the nation continues its royal transition with new details emerging on the building of King Haakon VIII's reign and strict security measures being implemented for the funeral of the late King Harald V.
