Marius Borg Høiby, who has been dubbed Norway's 'bonus prince,' is under scrutiny for new allegations involving knife threats and other violent offenses. Although he denies all charges, his lawyer, Petar Sekulic, stated that they will not be appealing the detention order, emphasizing that Høiby needs to concentrate on the legal proceedings ahead.

The legal troubles for Høiby began on February 1 when he was arrested, facing multiple violent charges including threatening behavior and violation of a restraining order. This arrest came just days before his trial was set to begin, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding these new allegations. His lawyers argue against the decision to keep him in custody for four weeks due to concerns about re-offending, highlighting the contentious nature of the case.

Høiby currently faces a total of 38 charges in a trial expected to last around seven weeks. This case draws significant public interest due to Høiby's high profile and connections, sparking discussions in Norway about the implications of his legal issues and the potential for changes in how similar cases are handled in the future.
