Investigating the influence of the Frogner woman - lawyer to be interrogated

The police are investigating possible witness tampering involving the Frogner woman, who is the former partner of Marius Borg Høiby, currently facing charges of violence and other offenses against her.

Norwegian police are looking into allegations of witness tampering relating to the Frogner woman, an individual who was previously in a relationship with Marius Borg Høiby. A close friend of Høiby has been accused of attempting to influence what the Frogner woman would say during her police interrogation. The police now aim to determine whether there is sufficient basis to pursue further investigation into these claims.

Marius Borg Høiby himself is facing multiple charges including violence, property damage, reckless behavior, and violating a restraining order against the Frogner woman. Recently, a court extended the restraining order against her by an additional six months, indicating the seriousness of the situation and the court's concern for her safety. The Frogner woman has also requested that the doors be closed in the upcoming court session, reflecting her desire for privacy and perhaps a need for protection during the legal proceedings.

This investigation comes after Høiby's defense attorneys urged the police to examine the potential influence on the Frogner woman's statements to the authorities. The implications of this inquiry are significant, as it not only affects the credibility of witness testimonies in the ongoing case against Høiby but also highlights the broader issues related to domestic violence and victim support in Norway.
