Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland was hospitalized shortly after being charged with aggravated corruption amid disclosures from Jeffrey Epstein's files. The 75-year-old is under investigation for potentially staying at Epstein's properties while leading the Council of Europe. Jagland denies criminal wrongdoing and visiting Epstein's private island. The Council of Europe lifted Jagland's immunity, and Norwegian authorities have searched his residences. Jagland's legal team asserts his cooperation and denies grounds for prosecution. Jagland, who also served as Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, notably advocated for Barack Obama's 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.
