After testifying in a trial in the United States, Tagliano is relocated to Lillehammer in Norway through the FBI's witness protection program.

Re: Lilyhammer

It's an excellent series. you'll love the contrast between the newyorican attitude as laid against the betatude and absurdities found in scandinavia.
