Im Prozess gegen Marius Borg Hoiby, den Sohn der norwegischen Kronprinzessin Mette-Marit, wird am 15. Juni das Urteil erwartet. Der 29-Jährige musste sich bis Mitte März vor Gericht verantworten - unter anderem wegen mutmaßlicher Vergewaltigungen.

Overview

  • The Oslo District Court scheduled the verdict for Monday, June 15, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Courtroom 250.
  • Marius Borg Høiby remains in custody after Judge Hans Nikolai Førde denied ankle‑monitor release, citing a high risk of reoffending.
  • Prosecutors seek seven years and seven months in prison on about 40 charges, including several alleged rapes, while Høiby admits some offenses and denies the rape allegations.
  • Crown Princess Mette‑Marit and Crown Prince Haakon visited him in Oslo prison on Sunday, May 10, with photos showing her using a portable oxygen device due to lung fibrosis.
  • In a piece for Nettavisen, Høiby criticized jail air quality and mold, the press presence in court, and claimed the judge had decided the case in advance.
