Oslo Prosecutors Add Six Charges to Marius Borg Høiby Case Ahead of Feb. 3 Trial

The additions cover a 2020 serious drug offense involving 3.5 kilograms of marijuana, alleged contact‑ban breaches, and traffic violations.

Overview

  • Public prosecutor Sturla Henriksbø announced that six new counts have been filed against Høiby.
  • Prosecutors and his defense say Høiby has admitted the newly added charges.
  • The drug count stems from a 2020 incident involving approximately 3.5 kilograms of marijuana, which his lawyer characterizes as a one‑time, unpaid transport.
  • Two counts allege violations of a court‑ordered contact ban toward an ex‑girlfriend, and three relate to traffic offenses documented on videos found on his phone.
  • The new counts will be handled at the main trial in Oslo District Court starting 3 February 2026, which already features numerous earlier allegations.
