The Norwegian Justice must decide on the request for probation of

Anders Behring Breivik

, author of the double attack in which

77 people died

in Oslo and on the nearby island of Utøya in 2011, when the prosecution rejected the request presented by the defense of the far

right and a

Christian

fundamentalist

.

Breivik was sentenced to 21 years of custody, extendable with a minimum sentence of ten, the maximum punishment then established by Norwegian law, a figure that in practice can amount to life imprisonment and is reserved for very dangerous prisoners. 

All those sentenced to custody have the right to study probation once the minimum time for serving the sentence has passed and then every five years, although in Breivik's case it

seems unlikely that he will be able to access it.

"Based on the material provided by Penitentiary Institutions, which deal with him every day, and a new risk analysis done by a psychiatrist, we believe that there is still a danger that he could commit new serious criminal acts," he told the agency today. NTB the prosecutor Hulda Karlsdottir.

The Telemark court (west of Oslo) will be in charge of hosting a still undated hearing and that Penitentiary Institutions want it to be held in Skien prison, where Breivik is being held, for security reasons, although he wants him to move To the court.

"We believe that it should be held in a courtroom like any other case. The security measures are perfectly acceptable by the Oslo court, for example, where the first trial against him was held," his lawyer, Øystein Storrvik, told the VG newspaper.

Storrvik said that Breivik, who changed his name to Fjotolf Hansen a few years ago

for unknown reasons, wants him to argue "in the best possible way" in favor of his parole.

The Norwegian far-right, who is not known to have shown signs of repentance, filed a lawsuit years ago against the isolation regime to which he is subjected, but both the Norwegian justice and the European Court of Human Rights ruled against him.

Breivik planted a van bomb in the Oslo government complex on July 22, 2011, which killed 8 people.

He then went to Utøya, the scene of the annual Labor Youth camp, where he

executed dozens of people who he considered defenders of multiculturalism and a threat to Norway for just over an hour.


8 million euros


Breivik is serving a 21-year sentence, and as The Sun newspaper has revealed, this confessed neo-Nazi has sent numerous letters to different film producers in which he offers his memoirs to be adapted into a film or series, and asks for the sum of

8 million euros.

The newspaper reveals that the 42-year-old Norwegian mass murderer, who writes 50 pages a day in his prison diary, has already written a biography and a film script and sent invitations to be interviewed in prison.

Prison sources cited by The Sun say that "Breivik's bid for fame, money and freedom is an insult to his victims and their families. So is the life in prison he leads. Breivik lives the life of a king in prison. He never asked for forgiveness for his wicked crimes and has no plans to do so. "

According to these sources, Breivik "still wants to inspire others and still believes in a fascist revolution."

Biographer Asne Seierstad, who wrote a book on Breivik, said: "He never showed remorse. What he wants is a stage, a place to share his thoughts and his message. And to gain more followers."

On his life in prison, he added: "He said that in prison he had never been happier."

Breivik's massacre made him one of the world's most famous killers

on July 22, 2011, after carrying out two lone wolf attacks.

In the first, he bombed the Norwegian government neighborhood in Oslo.

This turned out to be just a distraction as, dressed as a policeman, he then traveled to the Norwegian Labor Party summer camp on the nearby island of Utoya and carried out a massacre with a rifle and pistol.

Most of his 77 victims were teenagers;

its youngest victims were only 14 years old.
