The Norwegian Police revealed that they have fined Prime Minister Erna Solberg for breaking COVID-19 rules.
She organized a family get-together recently.
The fine is for 20,000 Norwegian crowns ($2,352), police chief Ole Saeverud told a news conference.
The Prime Minister apologised last month for organising an event for her 60th birthday with 13 family members at a mountain resort.
According to rules, only 10 people are allowed for any gathering.
“Though the law is the same for all, all are not equal in front of the law,” said Saeverud, justifying the fine.
“It is therefore correct to issue a fine in order to uphold the general public’s trust in the rules on social restrictions,” he said.
“Solberg is the country’s leader and she has been at the forefront of the restrictions imposed to limit the spread of the virus,” said Saeverud.
