The American far-right debater Steve Bannon, formerly a close associate of Donald Trump, is set free.
70-year-old Bannon has served a four-month prison sentence, which he was sentenced to, among other things, for defying court orders – partly in the context of the US Congress’s investigation into the violence in and storming of the Capitol in January 2021, and partly because he did not hand over documents which had to do with the attempts to change the results of the last presidential election.
He is released from prison a week before the US presidential election. When Bannon was sentenced this summer, he called himself a “political prisoner” and said he was proud of his sentence, which he said showed he stood up to a crooked justice system.
Further lawsuits await Steve Bannon. In a state court in New York, he is accused of, among other things, money laundering and fraud when he has received monetary donations that were said to be intended for the construction of a wall along the US border with Mexico.

The suspected perpetrator and hunter Roland Drexler, who on Monday shot dead two people in Austria, is said to still be alive and still have his weapons, the newspaper writes Kronen Zeitung.
That’s what Deputy State Police Chief Rudolf Keplinger says at a press conference in Linz on Tuesday morning.
According to the prosecutor’s office in Austria, Drexler’s criminal record was “a blank slate.” He was thus not convicted of any crimes before he became the main suspect after yesterday’s incident in the Mühlviertel region.
At the moment, the police cannot say with certainty whether the crime was planned or not.
According to Austrian media, there are many indications that the murders took place against the background of a conflict among local hunters.
The police confirmed during the press conference that there had previously been two reports against Drexler.
A police operation has been underway in Mellerud during the morning.
– We were alerted to an address in central Mellerud because a serious crime had allegedly been committed, says Adam Isaksson Samara, press spokesperson at the police.
One person has been detained. There is no danger to the public and police are not looking for any additional people.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) reacts to the statement from the imam in Malmö who praised terrorist-labeled Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
– Unfortunately, it confirms what we have seen in quite a few places, that sometimes one thing is said in public contexts and then it is said that other things are revealed.
In a hidden recording from inside the mosque during the Friday prayer on October 4, Nasrallah is hailed as a martyr and for being “a wise and insightful man with high morals”.
The imam has been suspended and is no longer allowed to give Friday prayers and sermons.
– I think that is serious. But in the first place, the organization has to answer for this, says Kristersson.
A tram has crashed into a shop in central Oslo, reports VG.
The emergency services are on their way to the scene. The police say that the tram has derailed and driven into a shop on Storgatan in the center of town.
A witness described it as “complete chaos” in the store.
– The police are here now. It’s unreal. The tram stands all over Storgata with the front far into the Eplehuset store. I don’t see anyone injured, says Kjell Bjørn Vinje, to VG.

On December 20, a 17-year-old boy was tricked by a 20-year-old woman. At the meeting, the boy is shot in the open street with several shots and later dies of his injuries.
The 20-year-old woman was the first woman in Sweden to be charged as the shooter in a gang murder.
The woman from Gävle was acquitted of the murder in the district court. But was sentenced to 12 years in prison for attempted murder and serious weapons offenses for a shooting at an apartment in Norrköping that took place in November of the same year.
Now the Göta Court of Appeal has taken up the case and is tearing up the district court’s verdict. Unlike the District Court, the Court of Appeal considers that the total evidence against the 20-year-old woman is so strong that, in addition to attempted murder and aggravated weapons offences, she should also be sentenced for murder.
The woman is sentenced to life for the murder of the 17-year-old boy.
