“The club has worked hard to get to the bottom of these breaches of trust on the part of 12 of our footballers,” the Norwegian club said in a statement in which it also referred to the “rumors and speculations” that had circulated since the last August 10. The internal investigation carried out by the entity determined that there was “non-compliance with respect to the lines of work, the general rules, the restrictions around the coronavirus and also in terms of the expected conduct on the part of the employees.”

Vibeke johannesen, General Manager of Brann SK, explained that, by virtue of all these issues, they made the decision to “fire one of our players and give severe written warnings to ten others.”

But the situation has become even more delicate when it is known that police authorities are investigating a possible sexual assault at the Norwegian club’s stadium within the framework of the aforementioned events. There is already a suspect whose identity has not been revealed.
