🧑‍⚖️ Høiby

Significant developments have emerged in the legal case involving Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest child of Queen Mette-Marit, with new evidence and changes in his defense team. His appeal against a four-year prison sentence, which includes rape convictions, is now set for a retrial in February 2027. The economic outlook is a key concern, as economists anticipate high interest rates for the foreseeable future, and a potential central bank pause could weaken the Norwegian krone. This comes amid discussions about the state's substantial wealth and the persistence of current tax rates. In other news, the Oslo City Council is considering a proposal to eliminate property tax on homes and establish a permanent, affordable public transport pass. Separately, Norwegian television personality Jon Almaas reported a break-in at his home, and police are investigating the discovery of a deceased person in Trondheim.
