On Monday, July 13, a court in Oslo ruled that Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest son of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit, may leave pre-trial detention. Instead, he will be under house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor. Die Zeit ↗
Høiby is to spend the coming weeks at the Skaugum residence. According to available information, he also requested release so that he could be closer to his seriously ill mother. However, the court's decision does not mean the end of the case, as movement restrictions remain in place. n-tv ↗
The case is linked to a verdict under which Høiby was sentenced to four years in prison. The charges cited include two counts of rape and other criminal offenses. The verdict is not yet legally final, so the legal process will continue to develop. Spiegel.de ↗
The prosecution announced its intention to appeal the decision to release him from custody. The further course of the case will therefore depend on the higher court's ruling and on whether the conditions of the house arrest remain unchanged. The case is being closely followed in Norway also because of its ties to the royal family, even though Høiby himself does not hold a royal title. Der Standard ↗
