Courts Deny Appeal for Drone Photography “Hobbyist” Under Suspicions of Espionage

One Russian will remain in Norwegian custody as ordered by a Hordaland appeals court, the accused’s argument denied. He claimed that he was unaware that his use of drones violated sanctions against Russian citizens operating drones in Norwegian airspace.
