AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The Norwegian parliament has unanimously approved an independent investigation into potential links between the country's foreign office and Jeffrey Epstein. This decision follows the release of Epstein files that named several prominent Norwegians, including members of the royal family and a former prime minister. The investigation aims to clarify whether these connections violated any laws or ethical regulations. In addition to the parliamentary inquiry, Norway's financial crimes squad, Økokrim, is investigating Mona Juul, former ambassador to Jordan and Iraq, and her husband Terje Rød-Larsen, on suspicion of corruption. Økokrim is also investigating Thorbjørn Jagland, a former Labour prime minister, for gross corruption. The Epstein files revealed that Juul and Rød-Larsen's children were bequeathed $10 million by Epstein.
