Politicians holding shares in Mowi are among those seeking to sabotage salmon industry tax

'The fact that I have lost a few thousand kroner on this is the least of our problems,' claims politician helping to coordinate campaign against the tax.

On Monday, Helge Andre Njastad (Frp) made a lobbying plan with the farming giant Mowi to sabotage the Norwegian government's new ground rent tax. Both he and party colleague Sivert Bjørnstad (Frp) own shares in the company.
