Defender: Høiby questioned about knife threats - denies guilt

Marius Borg Høiby has been questioned regarding knife threat allegations but denies any wrongdoing, choosing not to appeal his detention order.

Marius Borg Høiby has faced questioning concerning new allegations related to knife threats and bodily harm, as confirmed by his lawyer Petar Sekulic. Høiby denies any guilt pertaining to these charges but has opted not to appeal the recent detention order. According to Sekulic, Høiby aims to concentrate fully on the matters at hand, which include the ongoing legal proceedings against him.

The allegations that Høiby was involved in knife threats, along with charges of bodily harm and violation of a restraining order, came to light after his arrest on February 1. He has been placed in custody until March 2, with the court finding sufficient grounds for suspicion against him, indicating that there is a higher likelihood he is guilty than not guilty based on the charges. This detention decision reflects the seriousness of the accusations laid against him.

Notably, the timeline of Høiby's arrest coincides with his planned appearance in Oslo District Court, where he faces separate charges that include 38 counts of allegations. The situation continues to develop, and further examination of the basis for the new allegations is expected to take place in due course. The implications of these charges could be significant, potentially impacting both Høiby’s personal and public image as well as the legal proceedings he is currently entangled in.
