Dagbladet Highlights SV's Concerns Over Høiby Police Talks

Concerns Raised Over Police Conversations with Høiby

Dagbladet reveals that SV has characterized the recordings of Marius Borg Høiby's discussions with the police as alarming. According to SV's justice spokesperson, Andreas Sjalg Unneland, this incident underscores a concerning form of class justice.

Se og Hør reported that two police officers visited Høiby at Skaugum in 2023. The purpose was reportedly to 'warn him' against associating with known criminals. In an audio clip published by Se og Hør, an officer stated they were asked to approach Høiby to 'extend a hand' should he need assistance. The officer also explicitly mentioned that 'this has gone all the way to the top of the police in Oslo.'

Questions of Special Treatment

The police confirmed to Dagbladet that the deputy police chief in Oslo was made aware of the conversations with Høiby last year. Unneland expressed his concerns, stating, 'This stinks.' He further noted that giving special treatment to individuals based on their status is serious.

Preventive Measures by Police

Earlier, the Oslo police district confirmed via Aftenposten that they held a preventive discussion with Høiby last year. Frode Larsen, unit leader in Oslo police district, stated, 'The police regularly conduct preventive talks with individuals who may be involved in criminal environments. These discussions serve as early preventative measures.'
