Today, Nora Haukland testified in court against a 27-year-old man and told about the threat she received after the Marius case became known. Over a year ago she received an email from a man who threatened to send a torpedo (a hitman) after her if she didn't withdraw the charges against Marius.
– I didn't take the email seriously at first. Then I talked to friends, and got advice not to sleep at home. I got quite scared, and contacted a lawyer. I didn't feel safe, and left Germany and France. It has been stressful and difficult. I was afraid to go out, and ordered food delivered to my door.
She was afraid that the person who threatened her belonged to a biker community who were friends with Marius.(..)

Nora Haukland ble truet med torpedo: – Fikk råd om å ikke sove hjemme

I dag vitnet Nora Haukland i retten, hvor hun fortalte om trusselen hun mottok etter at Marius Borg Høiby-saken ble kjent.
www.nrk.no www.nrk.no

In State prosecutor Christer Gangsø's introductory speech, it appears that Juliane Snekkestad was also mentioned in the email. The accused man wrote that if Haukland did not withdraw the complaint, he would "send a torpedo at her and Juliane Snekkestad."
- This case has been a great burden for Haukland, but she looks forward to the case being processed in the legal system, Nora Haukland's legal counsel Heidi Reisvang at the law firm Elden told Dagbladet on Monday.

Marius lawyer has confirmed to TV2 Norway that it is Marius mormor, maternal grandmother, who has paid for the experiences regarding suing the publishing that published the recent book about Marius and the case.
- To me that suggests that whoever is paying, it is Marius mormor who is the name behind the money, because I strongly suggest that she is also the one who is footing the bill for Marius defense. The grandmother is 88 and while I have no idea how big a fortune she has, and is willing to spend on Marius, it will still very expensive for one person to carry the economic burden alone. Also because I think it's safe to say that if found guilty in most charges Marius will appeal.
So I suspect that officially mormor, Marit Tjessem, is the one who pay, but whether she foots the entire bill...

Høibys mormor betaler sagsomkostninger efter forsøg på at stoppe bog

Retten i Oslo afviste for to uger siden at nedlægge et fogedforbud mod en bog om Marius Borg Høiby.

I think it's gross that Marius is drawing his 88-year-old grandma into this affair!!
While she is officially paying, I also doubt whether she is actually paying for all the legal costs. Unless she is using her life's savings to pay for Marius' very expensive lawyers. But even if so, it might easily get to the point where that isn't enough...

But let's take it at face value for a moment and say that grandma, who is not known to be a super wealthy person, is paying for Marius' legal costs while Marius doesn't want to get a job...
Btw I think the family is still not doing Marius any favours by paying for his legal costs instead of Marius getting a job... Where he would see how long and hard most people actually have to work for that kind of money.
They are still making it all very easy for him and he remains spoilt. He should be working for his own legal defense costs - then, even if the cruelty of his acts does not deter him, maybe the time and hard work it would take to pay off the legal costs would deter him from repeating his violent acts...

It seems strange indeed that Mette-Marit's mother would have that much money or that she would use her life's savings to pay Marius' costs.

The tax figures for 2024 will be ready tomorrow morning. However, Se og Hør has already gained insight into Marius' finances. According to Se og Hør, Marius had an income of NOK 48,065 (€ 4,083) in 2024 and a fortune of NOK 83,542 (€ 7,100).
Now that income and wealth have been revealed, the question arises again about who pays the bills for the luxurious life Marius lives.

Can't this be used to estimate Grandma's wealth?

Yes, they definitely have that, because every year the press uses this to write about the state of Märtha Louise's wealth and property... But I unfortunately don't know where to find it...
 
This is an interesting article in "Bunte," a German magazine that reports on royals and celebrities. They conducted an exclusive interview with Marius's lawyer. After reading it, I get the impression that he intends to build his defense by claiming that Marius was a victim of the circumstances of his birth and that he never played a role in the shadow of the Norwegian royals. It's the usual explanation of how to attribute all the negative aspects a person exhibits to their childhood and experiences, thereby, of course, expecting sympathy and understanding. I also find it interesting that the lawyer gave this interview to a German newspaper, which demonstrates how interested the German press is in this topic. For anyone interested, try to translate it with a translating program, worth reading I think

Just a few excerpts from the interview:

"The Norwegian people are shocked by the accusations against him because he was never recognized as a public figure in Norway; quite the contrary, he was condemned as the black sheep of the family. And that is his tragedy! As a defense attorney, I see his personal fate and that he has led an isolated life without receiving any real public recognition."

He also thinks that the royal family will not suffer significant damage.

Norwegischer Anwalt spricht über Marius Borg Høibys isoliertes Leben

Mette-Marits Sohn Marius Borg Høiby muss sich vor Gericht verantworten. BUNTE.de sprach mit einem norwegischen Anwalt über Marius' Stand in der Gesellschaft.

I understand why his attorney is painting this picture. But it is of course far from the truth. During his childhood he was very much included as part of the royal family. And he only became the black sheep through his own actions. He had lots of opportunities to do something meaningful with his life with the many advantages (and some disadvantages) that came with being part of the crown princely family.

Well, Se og Hør has found that according to recent tax figures for 2024, Marit Tjessem had a fortune of NOK 2.7 million (€ 229,400) last year - and an income of 406,116 (€ 34,500).

That's a good income, but probably not enough to pay her grandson's legal fees. Is anything known about how Marius's grandmother earned such an income? I never got the impression that Mette Marit came from a wealthy family, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
 
These media outlets will cover the Høiby case
Media outlets such as Reuters, AFP, Bild, Die Welt and RTL are among those who have been granted space in the main courtroom and transmission rooms during the trial of Marius .
The Oslo District Court issued on Tuesday a list of which media outlets have been granted space in the main courtroom and transfer rooms. A total of 190 journalists from Norwegian and foreign media houses have expressed interest in covering the criminal case against Marius. From Norwegian media, there are a total of 129 people.

That are a lot of reporters! Besides the understandable fascination, which I of course share... - there still seems to be a lot of money in the media and press industry.

I mean, sure, there will be freelancers among them, which hope to sell their flicks - but this has Princess Diana format! 190 jounalists!

Makes one wonder, if they will do their job and investigate any further... But 190! It seems like a (almost) Prince and first son of a future Queen pulls in a lot of interest! Royalty has it's fascination - still, that is for sure!
 
I find it very sad if Marit Tjessem will be using her life savings to pay for Marius bills… She has more children and grandchildren that i hardly imagine would support this…

Until i’m proven wrong this does not sit right with me… I suspect her name is a part of a plan where her name is used to protect someone else who is really the one paying… Because who has the heart to attack a nearly 90 year old grandma for trying to help her problematic grandson ? Noone ofcourse

Marius shocks with new violation of the restraining order: Partying with the victim and her father
Several independent sources report that Marius and the "Frogner woman" had also been out partying together the weekend before to the event published previously.
Evening on November 8, started with the "Frogner woman" being at a restaurant in Oslo having dinner with her brother and father. The journey continued to the nightclub IVY. The "Frogner woman's" father has documented these visits on his Instagram account by posting several photos of his children.
During the night, the group was observed together with Marius. The victim and her family members are said to have sat at the same table as Marius, despite the restraining order. A source describes the party crowd as relaxed, in good spirits and clearly friendly.
The incident is increasing the pressure on the police.
The Frogner woman's lawyer Mette Yvonne Larsen didn't want to comment these news to Se og Hør.

NÅ: Festet med offeret og hennes far

For andre gang på en uke har Marius Borg Høiby vært på byen med eks-kjæresten han har forbud mot å oppsøke. Denne gangen var også hennes familie ved samme bord. Hendelsen skjerper presset på politiet.

People have pointed out that victims of partner abuse may continue to experience their abusive partner's psychological influence even after the relationship has officially ended - but that surely doesn't apply to the Frogner woman's father.

He wouldn't be the first parent who doesn't care about his daughter or sees an opportunity for exploiting the situation.
Not saying he is but...
 
According to the report, not only the victim's father but also her brother were present at the meeting. I find this development very, very strange and cannot understand the Frogner woman's family. This will cause problems in court. It almost looks like a conspiracy against the other women who are accusing Marius. I'm almost surprised she didn't withdraw her accusation in the meantime.

Indeed, you would think that the Frogner woman’s father would not participate in an event where Marius is deliberately violating a protective order.

And friendly or not, how many times can Marius violate the restraining order without any consequences?
Click to expand...
He has violated the restrictive order several times already. This was reported, but there were no consequences, for whatever reason.

But Marius is clever and still thinks nothing will happen to him because he still remains under the protection of the police and if there is such an order, the protection of the royals. And as things stand, that seems to be the case.
It would be interesting to know what would happen to a young man in Norway in the same situation but with no connection to the royal family

If it is really his mormor paying, speaking from a little experience, any other children and grandchildren are definitely going to feel worried and possibly betrayed by this--even if they don't openly express it. There's a sense of "throwing good money after bad" in these cases that leaves a strange taste in the mouth. This is in addition to the more pressing worry about the grandparent being taken advantage of and whether they will be able to manage themselves in old age after their finances are run down. There will also be, for some people, concerns about issues of favoritism and fairness in inheritance. (I suspect it's even worse in this situation since the other side of his family and his step family both have such a huge wealth differential that he has access to but other relatives would not.)

No one from the outside will have the heart to attack the motivations of a 90-year-old woman's decision, but internally, it does work differently. However, I also do wonder if her name is being used . . . though that is it's own danger and is concerning in another way.

Exactly what I think.
Although it's too soon to draw conclusions, I just hope the father isn't a narcissist. I say this from experience with people close to me; although the situation never even escalated to physical violence, it was truly problematic. But as I said, there was a narcissistic father involved.
 
Marius and the Frogner woman want to have the restraining order lifted. But the police are not backing down.
- Some time ago, a request was made from her side to have the restraining order lifted. It has been a long time and she no longer sees a need for it, said the "Frogner woman's" legal counsel Mette Yvonne Larsen to Dagbladet this morning.
Marius has had a restraining order against his ex-girlfriend since September 2, 2024. It is in effect until March 2026.
The police are not backing down, and emphasize that the restraining order is still in effect. Police prosecutor Andreas Kruszewski points out that the restraining order has been imposed on the basis of public interest.
- We are aware that she no longer wants this restraining order, but we have decided that it should still apply to protect her interests. As of now, neither the legal counsel nor the defense attorney has asked the police to bring it to court. It is therefore still in effect.

It's interesting that the police aren't using these alleged violations to toss him in jail -- wasn't breaking a restraining order one of the things that landed him jail for a few days early on?

I feel like they're letting all this stuff stack up for some strategic reason.

Marius tried to stop the controversial book "White Stripes, Black Sheep", but lost in Oslo District Court.
– We have made a decision that the decision will not be appealed, says Marius' lawyer Elias Christensen to NTB.
Christensen says that there is a holistic assessment behind it, including Marius' need to focus fully on the upcoming criminal case and the financial risk to Marius if the appeal is unsuccessful.

The financial risk to Marius? Shouldn't Marius' lawyer say the financial risk to grandma since she was the one supposedly paying for the lawsuit?

Btw I always thought it was a mistake to sue over this book. He has drawn too much negative, criminal attention to then claim privacy & defamation in my opinion. Even if he was not related to the NRF, journalists are usually allowed to write investigative books about people who have exhibited criminal behavior and look into them further...
