In mid-July, Marius Borg H\u00f8iby was released from prison to house arrest<\/a>. He has been serving his detention at Skaugum, the royal residence of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit, with electronic monitoring. His detention was set to end on Monday, but Oslo Police have today requested he be held in custody for four more weeks.<\/p>\n

The police wrote in a press release today (translated from Norwegian), \u201cThe prosecution has concluded that the risk of recidivism as of today has not been sufficiently reduced to consider it appropriate to release H\u00f8iby.\u201d A new hearing on H\u00f8iby\u2019s possible release is set for this upcoming Monday, August 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very surprised because the police have given clear signals that he will be released on Monday with a so-called reverse violence alarm,\u201d H\u00f8iby\u2019s defense attorney Petar Sekulic told Dagbladet<\/a> (translated from Norwegian), referring to ongoing electronic monitoring. \u201cMarius himself is very surprised after clear indications that he would be released. What has made them change their minds is unknown to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sekulic added, \u201cWe completely disagree that there is a risk of recurrence. We will have a dialogue with the police attorney throughout the day to clarify what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June, Oslo District Court sentenced H\u00f8iby to four years in prison<\/a>, finding him guilty of two counts of rape, assaulting a former girlfriend, and a number of other offenses. His team later filed for appeal<\/a>; H\u00f8iby has consistently denied the most serious charges, including the rape convictions. His sentencing is not legally binding while his legal team appeals.<\/p>\n

While living at Skaugum, \u201cthe Crown Prince and Princess wish to assist him in the phase he is currently in,\u201d Palace communications manager Guri Varpe told NRK<\/a>.<\/p>\n
