DON’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination possibly a fake

| | Oslo

Has Donald Trump really been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize? The Norwegian Nobel Institute said on Wednesday it had filed a police report after receiving a seemingly fraudulent nomination for the US President.

“We have good reason to believe that a nomination we received concerning Trump has been falsified,” Nobel Institute director Olav Njolstad told. He refused to provide further details, saying it was for the police to give more information. Each year, nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize must be submitted by January 31. Among those entitled to propose names are members of parliament and government, former laureates and some university professors.

While the list of candidates is kept secret for at least 50 years, those who nominate are however allowed to disclose their choice.
