Marius Borg Høiby, known as the Norwegian 'bonus prince,' has reportedly admitted to new crimes and agreed they should be tried in his ongoing main trial, according to Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten. The charges involve crimes allegedly committed against a former girlfriend who is one of the plaintiffs in the ongoing trial against him. Høiby was reportedly arrested at a hospital on the night of February 2, suspected of violence, unlawful threats, and violation of a restraining order following an incident a day earlier in his apartment.

He is now formally charged with violating the restraining order and corresponding harassment. Høiby's lawyer, Petar Sekulic, told the newspaper that his client acknowledges the charges and consents to them being examined in the ongoing main hearing. The new charges come as Høiby already faces legal proceedings, with the alleged victim being involved in both cases.
