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 70 milljóna króna halli vegna uppsagnar samningsins Innlent Tók 12 ár að breyta reglum um bætur vegna seinkun flugferða Erlent Sækja WorldPride í skugga bakslags í réttindum hinsegin fólks Innlent Vísbendingar um að síðasta vígið sé fallið Innlent Jöklar hér á landi minnkað um eina Lúxemborg Innlent Beðasléttur í borginni: Óttast óafturkræfan skaða á Laugarnesi Innlent Þrír reyndu að komast undan lögreglu Innlent Ummæli Kolbrúnar blaut tuska í andlit ungmenna Innlent Efla viðveru danska hersins á Grænlandi Erlent Kýldi konu eftir kynmök: „Hvað, getur þú ekki meira?“ Innlent
