Summary: Laila Anita Bertheussen, who is a member of a right-wing anti-immigration party, is accused of vandalising her own family home and threatening her relatives on several occasions, making it appear as though the Black Box theatre group was to blame. It appears that the left-wing pro-immigration theater group really did publicize the details of politicians they disagree with - but this politician is charged with faking vandalism from the theater group: "In December 2018, Bertheussen filed a complaint against Black Box for showing pictures of the homes of several politicians - including theirs - as part of a play aimed at demonstrating who was profiting from a more segregated and racist Norway."
