Norwegian police have launched an investigation into diplomat Mona Juul and her husband, Terje Rød-Larsen, regarding their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The investigation, led by the economic crime unit Økokrim, focuses on potential "aggravated corruption" and whether Juul received benefits related to her position. This follows Juul's resignation as ambassador after reports surfaced about her children potentially inheriting millions from Epstein and her husband's meetings with him shortly before his arrest. Authorities have searched a property in Oslo as part of the inquiry. Several prominent Norwegians, including Crown Princess Mette-Marit and World Economic Forum chief Borge Brende, have also been linked to Epstein in recently released documents, prompting scrutiny and reviews.
