The Norwegian police have announced the opening of an investigation against former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland, suspected of aggravated corruption due to his connections with Jeffrey Epstein. Jagland, who was the chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee and Secretary General of the Council of Europe, had relationships with Epstein in the 2010s. The national investigation authority Økokrim stated that there are reasonable grounds to investigate Jagland's activities during the time he held leadership positions. Recent documents suggest that Jagland requested financial guarantees from Epstein and had meetings with him in various locations. He also acknowledged a "lapse in judgment" regarding his relationship with Epstein. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will request the lifting of Jagland's immunity to facilitate the investigation, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. Other Norwegian personalities are also being investigated for their connections with Epstein.
