According to public relations company KOM, working for Ólafsson, he is not actually working at Samskip but attending to his international business as far as he can from Iceland.
Ólafsson has to return from his office to Vernd, a halfway house in Reykjavik before 6 pm in the evenings to partake in household duties. Prisoners at Vernd are not allowed to leave between 11 pm until 7 am on weekdays and between 9 pm and 7 am on weekends.
