Høiby demands release as topless protesters target Mette-Marit
7 min•10 mars 2026
There was no court session Monday in the trial of Marius Borg Høiby, but the case still produced major developments as the proceedings enter their sixth week.
Høiby’s defense team has formally asked Oslo District Court to release him from custody after five
weeks of detention. His lawyer, Ellen Holager Andenæs, confirmed that a petition requesting his release has been submitted.
Prosecutors oppose the move. Police prosecutor Andreas Kruszewski said authorities have reviewed the request and will not support releasing Høiby voluntarily, meaning the court will now decide the matter without holding a hearing.
Meanwhile Norwegian news organizations held what they described as a crisis meeting after multiple reporting violations during the trial, including publishing the name of a protected victim and breaking courtroom photography rules.
When proceedings resume, Høiby is expected to return to the witness stand as the court continues examining the allegations connected to the woman known in Norwegian media as the Frogner woman.
Meanwhile in Paris, activists from the group Femen staged a topless protest outside the Louvre on International Women’s Day, with one demonstrator painting the words “I Am Mette-Marit” across her torso as part of a broader protest targeting figures linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
