Marius Borg Høiby remains in custody as the trial proceedings against him have commenced. According to Norwegian law, if a defendant is held in pre-trial detention during a trial, they can stay in custody for several weeks after the trial concludes, until a ruling is made. This automatic extension of detention has been confirmed by police attorney Andreas Kruszweski, who explained the legal framework surrounding this situation.

The article mentions that earlier reports suggested Høiby's imprisonment would be extended, but it clarifies that this is a procedure rather than a request from the prosecution. The agreement among the parties in court further indicates that it's accepted that Høiby will remain imprisoned during the main trial phase. This agreement reflects a practical approach by the involved legal teams concerning the implications of the ongoing trial.

The case underscores aspects of the Norwegian legal system regarding how defendants are treated while awaiting trial outcomes. The implications for Høiby, who is a notable public figure, resonate not only in legal terms but also in public perception and media coverage, as his case captures significant interest in Norway.
