The advance notification to the Palace and further to Marius Borg Høiby for the first time has received wide attention and has been questioned, both by commentators and royal household experts. At 23.12 on Monday this week, Marius Borg Høiby was arrested by the Oslo police for the third time in a few months. But this time PST was not notified. – The police did not find it necessary to make notifications outside of the Oslo police district in connection with an ongoing case. – PST and His Majesty’s King’s Guard were informed when they drove into the area to carry out a search, writes police inspector Martin Strand in the Oslo police district. Marius Borg Høiby’s residence is located in what the police call the area, at Skaugum, where the farm and the bodyguard service of PST keep watch. THE CHARGE: Marius Borg Høiby was arrested late on Monday evening this week.

The phone was missing a SIM card and was partially damaged, according to news’s information. The danger of tampering with evidence is also the reason why the police went to court and asked for custody for Borg Høiby this week, when he was charged with two counts of rape. The police: – Could affect the security system The palace has previously confirmed that they were notified by the police on 4 August and that the court then informed the crown prince couple about a possible arrest of Høiby. PST says they notified the Castle about the Høiby case, but that they did not mention arrest. According to news’s information, Marius Borg Høiby was notified of the arrest by his mother, Crown Princess Mette-Marit. – The Oslo police district chose on 4 August to notify PST because that incident could affect the security system around the royal house, writes the police inspector. The castle says they were also notified. – In the notification from the police on 4 August, the Royal Court became aware that Marius Borg Høiby had been involved in a potentially serious incident that could result in an arrest, says communications adviser Simen Sund at the Royal Court to news. Sund also confirms to news that they were not notified in advance about the other police actions this week and in September. Arrested at the cottage In mid-September, during the investigation of the case against Marius Borg Høiby, he was arrested at Skeikampen after breaching the restraining order. – In connection with the action related to the arrest on 13 September, Innlandet police district was notified by Oslo police district as the action was carried out there, writes Strand. He further explains that this arrest did not affect the security arrangements around the royal house in the same way as on 4 August. – The arrest at Skeikampen was made at a private address and would not affect the security arrangements. The background to the latest arrest this week is that Borg Høiby was charged with two counts of rape. Borg Høiby was remanded in custody for one week on Wednesday. He pleads not guilty and his defender says the rape charges are catastrophic misjudgments by the police. Published 22.11.2024, at 17.33
