Norway’s Lotteritilsynet said it referred Lyoness’s operations in Norway to police on 1 October 2019, seeking investigation of suspected criminal conduct under the Lottery Act’s ban on pyramid-like sales systems. The authority said prosecution officials will decide whether to pursue charges; a 2019 appeals-board decision had upheld an order to stop the business.
Lyoness’s Norwegian business faces potential prosecution following the police referral and existing order to stop operations.
