Former International Biathlon Union president Anders Besseberg has been indicted on charges of aggravated corruption, Norwegian prosecutors said on Monday.
Their charges include"accepting bribes in the form of watches, hunting trips and trophies, prostitutes and a leased car which he enjoyed the use of from 2011 to 2018 in Norway".
