After years of ambiguity and mutual accusations, newly uncovered documents reveal the threads of a network of exploitation and extortion stretching from Western Norway to the capital, Oslo.

Al-Saadi, who resided in Haugesund–Tysvær, later moved to Fredrikstad between 2009 and 2010, where he orchestrated, for more than a year, a series of systematic extortion operations targeting individuals he had smuggled from Rome, Italy, to Norway in 2008.

Al-Saadi demanded money and free services from his victims, threatening to expose them to Norwegian authorities if they refused. When they resisted, he resorted to filing fabricated criminal complaints starting in 2013, using his wife, Qatranada Adnan Abdulhussein, to submit a false report claiming that one of the victims had attempted to kill her during the National Day celebrations on 17 May 2014. According to the evidence, this occurred following a direct threat from him to return them to Italy, from where they had been smuggled.

The couple succeeded in misleading certain members of the Fredrikstad police, with assistance from Police Attorney Hege Finsveen (HFI004), who supported efforts to have the victims deported and stripped of their legal rights. However, after two years of blackmail and harassment through the Fredrikstad police, the court fully acquitted the victims, revealing that the complaints and the case were driven by motives of revenge and incitement.

Following these events, and after the victims relocated to Oslo in 2014, the main coordinator of the 2008 smuggling operations reappeared, deceiving everyone with what was called the "Charitable Art Exhibitions" project".

She moved from Skien to the capital, Oslo, after failing to locate the victims in smaller towns, using deceptive tactics pretending to suffer a mental breakdown in hospitals and requesting to meet the victims while instructing her associates in Italy to contact the Norwegian police, falsely claiming to be high level witnesses from the Iraqi Embassy in Rome. In reality, the caller was a guard at the embassy who had assisted her in her illegal activities in 2008.

"In 2010, a guard contacted the Norwegian police, falsely claiming to be a witness on behalf of the coordinator of the 2008 smuggling operations and to hold a senior position at the Iraqi Embassy in Rome. His intention was to mislead the authorities and support her fabricated narrative, while she pretended to suffer a mental breakdown in the hospital to gain sympathy and conceal her past."

It is noteworthy that the guard himself had been forcibly deported from Norway to Italy by the Norwegian authorities before 2008.

Eventually, the coordinator managed to locate one of the victims and moved to live nearby, marking the beginning of a new phase of stalking, pressure, and intimidation.

Sources indicate that during this period, she stayed at the residence of a Norwegian police officer who lived very close to the victims’ home. He had previously assisted her in the first case after she successfully misled him with false claims, causing him to act in violation of the law without realizing what was actually happening. Later, the coordinator exploited this trust and that incident in particular, using the officer’s position to create a false impression among certain police officers in Oslo. Acting out of “professional loyalty” to defend their colleague, these officers were manipulated into adopting unethical practices similar to those previously employed by her assistant, Al-Saadi, in Fredrikstad in coordination with police lawyer Hege Finsveen (HFI004).

In 2022, the coordinator escalated her actions by exploiting the same officer who was in fact one of her victims due to the deception and had him, while acting in his official capacity and without realizing the full scope of the conspiracy, confront the victims outside their home, demanding that they delete the published information regarding the smuggling operations and refrain from reporting them.

She decided to pursue the victims herself, relocating to Oslo, where she spent years attempting to trace their whereabouts and continue the pressure that had begun in Fredrikstad.

In 2022, the coordinator, wearing a blue coat, was repeatedly spotted near the fence of one of the victims’ homes in Oslo, exploiting her relationship with a police officer she was living with. Evidence indicates that she deceived the police by filming the victim outside his home and falsely claiming that she lived there and that the victim was stalking her, in an apparent attempt to mislead the authorities and distort the facts. Despite her deception being exposed, certain Oslo police officers and lawyers chose to support and protect her without justification.

"Written correspondence shows that the coordinator of the smuggling operations, Zainab, sent a police officer to the victims’ residence in Oslo after locating one of their addresses in 2022, following years of investigation. This action aimed to intimidate the victims, prevent them from reporting her to the authorities, and pressure them to remove published information related to the smuggling operations. The documents indicate that the officer was sent in a manner reminiscent of mafia-style tactics, reflecting the coordinator’s continued surveillance near the victims’ homes and her use of police connections to achieve her objectives of intimidation and concealment."

Since then, the Oslo Police have prepared more than 27 malicious criminal cases on behalf of the coordinator of the 2008 smuggling operations, all of which were lost in court. This unprecedented situation highlights the role of certain Oslo police officers in protecting the smugglers and assisting them in extortion through years of malicious legal prosecutions.

Upon arriving at the victims’ address in Oslo, the coordinator of the 2008 smuggling operations launched a campaign of manipulation and provocation that escalated tensions within the local community, extending even to certain police officers. This escalation went beyond social or verbal provocation, directly influencing the behavior of some law enforcement personnel who, according to documented reports, acted in ways contrary to the law, appearing aligned with the coordinator’s objectives in support of the smuggling network.

These actions contributed to an atmosphere of chaos and mistrust, reflected in a series of malicious and false cases targeting the victims, alongside unprecedented internal disruptions within the Oslo Police, including internal reviews and investigations concerning the conduct of some police officers. This situation undermined the police’s reputation in the capital.

Available evidence and testimonies indicate that the coordinator’s systematic use of provocation, deception, and manipulation was employed to control narratives, silence victims, and destabilize the local environment. The records also reveal a repeated pattern of cunning and organized deception previously used in other cities and countries, including Baghdad, demonstrating a remarkable ability to exploit even the official mechanisms of law enforcement and even immigration systems.

During this period, Zainab’s lawyer, Samia Boulebtina, presented misleading information to the court, claiming that the coordinator had arrived from Iraq rather than Italy, and portraying the victims as pursuing her while the events were not real. These statements temporarily influenced the court proceedings, granting the coordinator a short-lived advantage by overturning the restraining order and framing her as the victim.

Later, lawyer Samia Boulebtina attempted again to mislead the Borgarting Court of Appeal, but this attempt also failed in 2024.

It is noteworthy that the coordinator did not attend any of the more than seven court sessions held across different courts, while the Oslo Police had prepared these malicious cases in her favor, ultimately benefiting the smuggling network as the victims continued to be pursued to their homes.

Between 2022 and 2023, the 2008 smuggling operations were exposed through documented evidence, photographs, and legal records, causing significant embarrassment within the Oslo Police.

Despite submitting the evidence to the Norwegian Ministry of Justice and Public Security, and ministry officials verbally acknowledging the seriousness of the information, the Oslo Police refrained from conducting a serious investigation and closed the files, continuing their support for the coordinator until the summer of 2025.

“The Ministry of Justice and Public Security stated that individual cases fall under the jurisdiction of the Public Prosecution Authority, and that the ministry does not intervene in investigations or in the closure of criminal cases involving smugglers.”

Official records show that the police in Fredrikstad and Oslo lost more than twenty-seven malicious criminal cases between 2010 and 2025, most of which were initiated by individuals connected to human trafficking networks involved in operations dating back to 2008.

Oslo Police Station (Zainab Abdulkarim Ali) …and many additional cases filed between 2010 and 2025 at Fredrikstad and Oslo Police Stations involving the same individuals.

This series of cases highlights a recurring pattern of false reports used for retaliatory and extortionate purposes, raising serious questions about the role of senior officials in overlooking these actions and the involvement of certain police officers in Fredrikstad and Oslo in facilitating them.

"Over more than a decade, from 2010 to 2025, the victims faced more than 27 legal proceedings directed against them. Documents and testimonies indicate that legal actions in Fredrikstad and Oslo were temporarily leveraged to benefit the parties involved in smuggling dozens of migrants in 2008, with roles effectively reversed in their favor. However, all such attempts failed, as the parties involved in the smuggling lost every malicious case prepared by the police in Fredrikstad and Oslo against the victims in Norwegian courts."

Information indicates that the police officer himself was among the victims of the network’s deception and cunning, as he was gradually manipulated and exploited to become a tool used against other victims without realizing it at first.
