DN reported [this week] that a recent Norwegian Supreme Court Appeals Committee ruling has revealed that TIDAL has been an official suspect in a “serious data fraud investigation” by the Norwegian authorities since June 21 last year.
TIDAL’s lawyer, Fredrik Berg at the law firm Fend, declined to comment on the matter, reports DN.
The case to which this particular ruling refers, according to an official court document obtained by MBW, was “based on suspicion of serious data fraud in the form of manipulation of stream numbers”.
This resulted in Økokrim requesting to seize TIDAL documents in spite of them “containing business and operating secrets”.
