When journalist Harriet Hansen attends the court case she hears that sentencing will take place in the afternoon. Later she learns that the Norwegian Generalkonsulat in Murmansk has issued a press statement about the outcome of the trial, before the judge had actually pronounced her verdict. If the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs had wanted to issue a press release, they would have done it from HQ in Oslo, not by an office abroad (and certainly not by a consulate).
When Harrieth is typing her first article about the Kotopaxin case in the newsroom, the text shown typed on the PC screen has at least two obvious spelling or type setting mistakes, which an experienced journalist would never have made.
