In a significant development in the trial against Marius Borg Høiby, the Oslo Police have proposed to close the investigation concerning possible witness intimidation. Petar Sekulic, the defense lawyer, indicated that the police found no criminal wrongdoing that warranted further investigation. The matter is currently set to be addressed in court on the afternoon of the coming Friday, highlighting the ongoing judicial processes surrounding the case.

The investigation was initiated after Mette Yvonne Larsen, the attorney for the victim in the case, raised concerns about a witness possibly attempting to influence the testimony of the Frogner woman involved. During the court proceedings, the accused witness denied any such intentions. This denial seems to support the police's stance that the allegations lack sufficient evidence, with Sekulic revealing that the proposal to drop the case was sent to the Eastern Prosecutor's Office on March 13.

Alexander Greaker, the lawyer representing the implicated witness, expressed satisfaction with the police's recommendation, suggesting it aligned with expectations. This incident reflects the complexities of the legal process, particularly in cases involving allegations of witness intimidation, and raises questions about the dynamics between defense attorneys, prosecution, and the investigation protocols within the Norwegian judicial system.
