New facts in the case of the son of the Queen of Norway. The court changes the decision on his release
Norwegian Court of Appeal ruled that Marius Borg Hoeiby, son of Queen Mette-Marit, will remain under electronic monitoring at the royal residence. This decision follows an appeal by the prosecution against a lower court's conditional release ruling. The lower court had allowed his release under strict conditions, including regular police check-ins and drug testing. However, the prosecution cited a recent alcohol test violation as a reason for the appeal. The court emphasized concerns about the risk of Hoeiby returning to substance abuse if released. Hoeiby was sentenced to four years in prison for multiple offenses, including assault and drug trafficking, with an appeal hearing scheduled for February next year.
