Mother of Marius Borg Høiby
Mette-Marit doesn’t have to testify to the police – lawyer reacts irritated
In the Marius Borg Høiby case, the police decided not to question Crown Princess Mette-Marit. The decision is surprising.
Norwegian police will not question Crown Princess Mette-Marit as a witness in the trial against her son Marius Borg Høiby. “In the opinion of the public prosecutor’s office, based on the investigations to date, there is currently no need,” explained Kruszewski. They also report on this decision.
The decision comes as a surprise to many observers. According to consistent media reports, Mette-Marit may have even warned her son before his first arrest and, according to rumors, also cleaned up his apartment. In addition, according to Norwegian media, she may have known about his problematic behavior for a long time.
Serious allegations against the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit
Petter Grødem, the lawyer for an alleged victim, was irritated by the investigators’ decision. “I’m surprised. Normally a request to interview witnesses is granted,” he told TV2. During her interrogation, his client mentioned a text message to the Crown Princess in which she reported Borg Høiby’s aggressive behavior. This message was never answered.
