Anders Breivik changed his first and last name

Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik, serving a sentence for the murder of 77 people, officially changed his name to Fjotolf Hansen. This was announced on June 9 by the largest Norwegian tabloid Verdens Gang, citing data from the population register.

Information about Breivik's name change was confirmed by his lawyer Oystein Storrvik. The reason for this decision is unknown to the lawyer.

On June 9, the Supreme Court of Norway rejected an appeal by Breivik, who complained about the violation of his rights in prison. Representatives of the perpetrator said they would appeal to the Supreme Court for Human Rights.

  • Anders Breivik convicted of killing 77 people in the summer of 2011. He detonated a bomb in the government quarter of Oslo, and then shot 69 people in a youth camp on the island of Utøya. For this, Breivik was sentenced to the maximum possible term under the laws of Norway - 21 years in prison. He is serving his sentence in solitary confinement with three rooms.
