After another night in police custody, Mette-Marit’s son Marius Borg Høiby is free again. His lawyer issued a statement.
After his renewed arrest on Friday evening (September 13), Marius Borg Høiby (27) has been free again since Saturday. The 27-year-old is said to have violated a contact ban. According to “VG”, the lawyer for the son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit (51) stated after his release that it was not true that Høiby had refused to comment to the police on the allegations. As “VG” further reports, according to his defense attorney, Høiby was hunting with friends when he was arrested.
Høiby told police he had nothing to do with the matter and was innocent. According to media reports, he was accused of violating a restraining order that was issued after his first arrest in early August.
Fees have been increased
“NRK” had reported that the charges against Høiby had been expanded to include several points and that another person had been granted victim status in the case.
At the beginning of August, according to media reports, Marius Borg Høiby was arrested for assault and property damage after he allegedly became aggressive in his ex-girlfriend’s apartment in Oslo on the night of August 4th. He was released from police custody the following day. Ten days after his arrest, the eldest son of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit made his own statement. In a detailed statement distributed by “NRK”, he admitted the allegations. “Last weekend something happened that should never have happened,” said the 27-year-old, who was from a relationship before Mette-Marit’s wedding to Haakon of Norway (51), in his public apology.
He also wants to apologize to his family. He knows that his actions have hurt them deeply: “That’s why I apologize to you, my loved ones. This should never have happened and I take full responsibility for my actions.”
