There has been a major newsstory in Norway from Congo these last months...

Two Norwegian, ex military, was arrested in Congo charged with killing their driver and are now on trial for manslaughter and facing death penalty. Today is actually the last day of the trial.

Old newsstory (only one I could find in english):

During the trial the prosecution has demanded 575 billion (yes BILLION) dollars from Norway in damages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of the Norwegian news articles:

According to the norwegian media the trial has been a farce and the accused hasn't had any translation provided during the hearings... There is a quite damaging picture however of one of the accused as he cleans the car of blood and smiles at the camera..

Hope this doesn't put you off the idea, but it seems there are issues in that country that isn't to positive...
