Norwegian tycoon arrested over wife's disappearance in 2018

Businessman held on suspicion of murder in case first treated by police as kidnapping

One of Norway's wealthiest men has been arrested in connection with his wife's disappearance in 2018 and held on suspicion of murder or complicity to murder in a case police had earlier thought was a kidnapping.

Tom Hagen, a media-shy real-estate investor and owner of an electric company, was detained on his way to work, the chief police investigator, Tommy Broeske, said.
