The ruling was issued following a hearing held on January 26. The hearing itself was held in the wake of sanctions being imposed on Norebo and another Russian seafood company in July 2025.
The Norwegian Government has accused Norebo and Murman Seafood of involvement in intelligence-gathering activities in Norwegian waters.
Espen Barth Eide, Norway’s Foreign Affairs Minister, had earlier said that the two companies are part of a Russian state-sponsored surveillance campaign and had conducted intelligence-gathering activities targeting critical underwater infrastructure in the sea areas of Norway and those of allied nations.
Norebo has repeatedly denied the allegations, claiming that it is an “entirely non-political” company.
