Timeline of events in the Ministry of the Interior scandal case

Gísli Freyr Valdórsson, former aide to Interior Minister Hanna Birna Kristjánsdóttir, has been handed a parole sentence for leaking confidential information to the press. He declared his innocence up until new evidence emerged that the District Attorney believes would have proved his involvement in the case.

The case started about a year ago when the Ministry of the Interior declared that the asylum seeker Tony Omos, whom was due soon to become a father, should be deported from Iceland. As a result of an announced protest due to the inhumane treatment of Omos outside the Ministry of the Interior, a memo was drafted which contained personal information about Omos. Gísli then leaked this memo to the press later that same day.

Below is a timeline that shows the highlights in the case, from the moment that the mother of Omos's child steps forward up until the moment that Gísli is sentenced.
