An appeals court in Norway has upheld the detention of the Crown Princess's son
An appeals court in Norway upheld the lower court’s ruling and, for the second time, refused to modify the Crown Princess’s son’s pretrial detention. His request to replace his detention with an electronic ankle monitor was denied, so he will remain in custody.
This was reported by NRK.
The Court of Appeal rejected the appeal filed by Marius Borg Hoiby, the son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, regarding a change in his pretrial detention in a case in which he is accused of raping four women, as well as domestic violence and other crimes.
Hoiby had filed a motion requesting that he continue to serve his pretrial detention with an electronic ankle monitor at the Crown Prince and Crown Princess’s residence.
The Oslo District Court, followed by the Court of Appeals, rejected the request. The court argued that there is a significant risk of reoffending, noting in particular that Hoiby had already violated a court order prohibiting him from attempting to contact the victim.
Consequently, the Crown Princess’s son will remain in prison until sentencing at the Oslo District Court, scheduled for June 15.
As a reminder, the son of Norway’s Crown Princess has been arrested on suspicion of four counts of rape.
As a reminder, Norway has begun selling off Israeli assets.
Norway is also beginning inspections of foreign tankers in its waters due to insurance coverage.
