Snekkestad Takes a Stand in Police Inquiry

Key Developments in the Snekkestad Case

Following Borg Høiby's admission of having committed bodily harm against a former girlfriend, police have summoned two other ex-girlfriends, including Snekkestad, for questioning. According to attorney Petter Grødem, there are two main reasons for her decision to cooperate with police:

  1. To share her story and clarify the events surrounding the allegations.
  2. To assist in preventing similar incidents from occurring to others.

After posting her story on Instagram, police invited her in for a discussion, and she plans to continue cooperating with the authorities.

Implications of the Inquiry

When asked about any recent contact between Snekkestad and the royal family, attorney Grødem expressed his unawareness, stating, 'I would be surprised if that were the case.' Last week, the palace confirmed a phone call made by Crown Princess Mette-Marit to the complainant in the ongoing criminal case against her son, Marius Borg Høiby (27). Several defense attorneys have raised concerns about the legality of this communication, referencing Section 157 of the Penal Code, which prohibits influencing individuals involved in criminal cases.

Grødem noted that Snekkestad has experienced significant media pressure since sharing her narrative on Instagram. 'Initially, we requested the press to respect her family's wish to direct inquiries to me as her attorney, and we feel that has been adhered to.'
