Marius Borg Høiby Remains Under House Arrest with Ankle Monitor After Detention Extension

Marius Borg Høiby, often referred to as the "bonus prince," will continue to be under house arrest with an electronic monitoring device, following a court decision in Oslo. The detention period for Høiby has been extended by four weeks, although the court rejected the prosecution's request for his continued full detention.

Høiby himself was present during the court hearing where the decision was made. While he accepts the terms of his house arrest, the prosecutor has appealed the ruling. The police had argued for continued detention, citing a risk of recidivism, while Høiby's defense contended that the conditions for further detention were not met.

This development comes after Høiby was sentenced in June to four years in prison for a total of 34 offenses. He has since appealed this conviction and has consistently denied the more serious charges against him. He has been in detention since February.
