Welcome to the Absurd… Again!
Ah, the world of crime, scandal, and royal baggage! Marius Borg Høiby—try saying that three times fast—is making headlines again. You know, in some families, the only drama is whether to have tea or cappuccino. But in this royal household? Oh, it’s an entirely different kettle of fish.
The Short Version of a Long Story
- Marius is being released after a week in custody. Apparently, the police don’t think he’ll blow the whistle. Great news for him, but a brief sigh of relief for the snitches!
- Oh, but wait! There’s a *new* sexual offense investigation brewing. Because, you know, *one* scandal just isn’t enough!
- He’s also been slapped with two new visitor bans. Way to make friends, Marius!
- And just to clear things up: the charges against him haven’t changed. So, there’s that. Talk about a lack of progress!
The Nitty-Gritty
Now, according to the Oslo police, they are convinced that Marius wasn’t about to shred any evidence—or perhaps had already taken up origami. His lawyer, Øyvind Bratlien, seems to think his client’s situation is about as serious as a soggy biscuit. “The evidence against Høiby is significantly weakened,” he quipped, probably while rolling his eyes so hard they almost fell out.
And just in case you’re wondering about bail money—don’t. Bratlien admits he won’t be picking him up. Someone’s definitely keeping their distance!
New Pumping Cases and Visitor Restrictions
In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, the police are now investigating yet another alleged sexual offense against Høiby. This guy collects accusations like some folks collect stamps! But this time, it’s a smear of new color on an already chaotic canvas. Maybe he’s applying for a job at a circus? With the passing of each case, the plot thickens… and thickens… and thickens!
Did I mention that six individuals have the title of “victims” in this whole saga? Yes, six! It’s like a royal family reunion, just without the tea and crumpets, and definitely with a lot more legal paperwork. They might need a lawyer for every slice of drama!
Recent Statements: Truth is a Stretch
Let’s give it up for the police lawyer, Andreas Kruszewski, who stated that they need more time for investigations. Ah, yes, classic! “We’re busy, don’t mind the fact that we just let him go!” This sounds more like a “trust us” moment rather than a verifiable strategy. Like handing over a poorly planned birthday party to a group of toddlers!
What Now?
- Will Marius be a model citizen? Or will he re-enter the wild world of alleged misconduct? Drama alert! 🚨
- Will anyone figure out whether he will ever face the music for these stacked charges? The anticipation is killing me! Well, not really, but it is certainly amusing.
The takeaway? In cases like this, it’s not only about guilt or innocence but rather how much chaos one can create before it all comes crashing down. Stay tuned for the next episode of “As the Court Case Turns.”
And remember, crime might not pay—but boy, does it get you noticed!
This segmented HTML commentary blends humor and a sharp observational tone while addressing the article’s key points—making it entertaining yet informative, much like a comedic take from a fusion of Jimmy Carr, Rowan Atkinson, Ricky Gervais, and Lee Evans. Enjoy the chaos!
The short version
- Marius Borg Høiby, who has spent a week in police custody, is set to be released on Wednesday as authorities have determined that the risk of evidence being compromised has diminished significantly.
- Simultaneously, the police are probing a newly reported sexual offence that adds complexity to the ongoing investigation.
- In addition to his pending legal issues, Høiby is now subject to two additional restraining orders aimed at protecting the safety of two women.
- Despite these developments, the police clarify that there have been no alterations to the charges currently filed against him.
The 27-year-old has been imprisoned for one week. Now he is being released:
– As of now, we can no longer see that there is a risk of evidence being tampered with, says Andreas Kruszewski, a lawyer representing the Oslo police, in a press release.
Høiby’s defender, A lawyer who will safeguard the rights of the accused. lawyer Øyvind Bratlien, says the following to VG:
– The evidence against Høiby is significantly weakened. The risk of evidence destruction is non-existent. The imprisonment was wrong and was based on catastrophic misjudgments.
Bratlien tells NRK that he does not know when Borg Høiby will be released, but that it will be during the day.
Investigating new sex offence
The police are also investigating a new matter relating to sexual offences, they report.
He has previously been charged with two cases of rape without intercourse against two different women, and for abuse in close relationships against three different women (see overview at the bottom of the case).
Marius Borg Høiby has also been placed under a restraining order against two women, which comes in addition to the restraining order against the woman who was offended in the Frogner case, the police reported on Wednesday.
– The police have created almost all the reports against Høiby, including a new one. This is currently unknown to us. We expect calm and sober assessments from the police going forward. We cannot have a police force that contributes to the circus, says defender Bratlien to VG.
However, there are no changes to the charges against him, the police further inform. The police can investigate new circumstances, without this meaning that they have brought charges in the case.
The Oslo District Court justified the remand in custody. This is done either to prevent the accused from avoiding punishment, destroying evidence or from committing new criminal offences by Marius Borg Høiby that there was a risk that evidence could be lost or witnesses could be influenced if the crown princess’s son was at large.
Høiby denies criminal guilt for most of the items in the charge.
Information to VG: The police believe evidence was attempted to be deleted
Feared evidence would be destroyed
When the question of imprisonment was dealt with on Wednesday last week, the police requested that the 27-year-old be imprisoned for two weeks.
This is because they needed time to carry out several investigative steps, including reviewing various seizures and questioning the victim and witnesses in the case.
– During the week he has been in prison, the police have reviewed seizures made in connection with the arrest and conducted a significant number of witness interviews, says police lawyer Andreas Kruszewski in the press release.
– Catastrophic misjudgments
After the prison meeting last week, Høiby’s defender, lawyer Øyvind Bratlien, was clear that Høiby disputes the accusations of two rapes without intercourse.
– Høiby does not recognize any of these conditions. Both charges are catastrophic misjudgments on the part of the prosecutor. I spent a lot of time on this in the court session today, said Høiby’s defender Øyvind Bratlien to VG.
