Sverrisdóttir took this as a threat against her life, but the case was investigated and subsequently dropped by Reykjavík police, who apparently saw no reason to believe Sverrisdóttir's life was threatened. While Sverrisdóttir will not comment on the matter, she did indicate that it could be possible for her to take the case to the state attorney's office. - pfn News News in English Mest lesið Vill tollalaus viðskipti við Evrópu Erlent Allt að 18 stiga hiti á morgun en súld og léttskýjað í dag Veður Veitingahús vilji ekki bara ráða ófaglært starfsfólk Innlent Wow fékk bestu þjónustu Airbus eftir að Icelandair valdi Boeing Viðskipti innlent Ísraelsher viðurkennir mistök eftir birtingu myndefnis Erlent Þúsundir mótmæltu Trump á 1.200 mótmælum Erlent Söfnuðu 140 milljónum fyrir Kvennaathvarfið Innlent Sektaður fyrir of stutt bil milli bíla Innlent Reynst erfitt að laga tvígreiðsluvillu en gefast ekki upp Innlent Tveir unnu tæpar 80 milljónir hvor Innlent
