“The police notified the Royal Court and the Royal Court then informed the Crown Prince couple about an incident involving Marius Borg Høiby and about a possible arrest. As is known, the police also notified Marius Borg Høiby ahead of the arrest. The police chose not to make an arrest at his residence, and have never searched it. We are referring to the police for further questions.” This is what communications manager Guri Ofstad Varpe writes in a statement to news. VG has also received the statement, and mentioned it first. – There is an ongoing police investigation, and we believe it is not right to comment on the case in particular at the present time, for the sake of everyone involved, writes Varpe to news. news has been in contact with Varpe, who does not wish to comment further on the matter. The police were also in contact with Marius Borg Høiby even before he was arrested at a school close to his home in Skaugum. – The police chose not to make an arrest in his residence and have never searched it, writes Varpe further to VG. This is Marius Borg Høiby charged with: Bodily assault (violence), damage, threats, reckless behavior and violation of a restraining order against an ex-girlfriend. Abuse in close relationships against ex-girlfriend Juliane Snekkestad. Abuse in close relationships against ex-girlfriend Nora Haukland. Høiby is also charged with threats against another person. Marius Borg Høiby was charged with bodily harm and damage after a violent incident at Frogner in Oslo on the night of 4 August. Subsequently, he is also charged with several cases of bodily harm, violence in close relationships and threats. Høiby notified Both VG and Aftenposten have previously mentioned that Crown Princess Mette-Marit notified Borg Høiby that he would be arrested on 4 August. They have been informed of this from anonymous sources. According to VG’s information, the crown princess also cleaned her son’s house before the arrest. It is located inside Skaugum, where the crown prince’s family lives. It was then not known who gave Mette-Marit the information about the arrest. That is why news mentions the charge against Marius Borg Høiby The press must be careful when using names and images of people involved in criminal cases, and this particularly applies at an early stage of the case. This is evident from the press’s ethical regulations, the Vær varsom poster. We have chosen to mention that Marius Borg Høiby has been charged with bodily harm and damage. He is the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit. Borg Høiby is a member of the royal family, but has no official role in the royal household. He has a right to protection of his privacy. As a member of the royal house, the crown princess has a very special role and position in Norwegian society, and we believe that there is a legitimate need for information for the public to know that her son has been charged with bodily harm and damage. The case has also affected the Crown Princess’s performance of official duties. Being charged with violence is a serious matter. It is important to emphasize that Marius Borg Høiby has only been charged. PST was notified – I can confirm that we were notified by the Oslo police about the arrest of Marius Borg Høiby, says Martin Bernsen in the Police Security Service (PST) to news. The bodyguard service, which protects the royal family, is under the PST. At the same time that PST was notified, the Oslo police district sent a message to the Norwegian Police Directorate (POD) about the arrest. They confirm this to news. “At 1.55pm: The duty commander at the Police’s situation center in POD notifies the crisis support unit in the Ministry of Justice that Marius Borg Høiby is to be arrested,” they write in an email. The Ministry of Justice and Emergency Preparedness was notified routinely by the Norwegian Police Directorate (POD) and took the information for information, the ministry writes in an e-mail to news. They further informed the Prime Minister’s office and the Ministry of Children and Families, who also “took the matter into consideration”. – The ministry assumed that the case should be handled by the police, and the notification was not passed on to external parties, they write further. The Prime Minister’s office also denies that they contacted the Palace or others about the information. – The Prime Minister’s office was informed on Sunday 4 August. The information was taken into account, and neither the prime minister nor SMK did anything based on the information, says communications manager Anne Kristin Hjukse. CLARIFICATION: news previously wrote that the Court notified Crown Princess Mette-Marit of the arrest. The correct thing is that they notified the crown prince couple, as appears from the statement from the Court. This was changed at 17:39. Published 01.11.2024, at 17.30 Updated 01.11.2024, at 18.03
