US EditionEpstein Used Nobel Chair Ties; Norway Investigates Jagland for Corruption
Thorbjørn Jagland faces aggravated corruption charges after Norwegian police probe gifts, loans, and travel linked to his Nobel Committee role, triggered by Jeffrey Epstein files.
- Last month, the U.S. Justice Department released millions of documents mentioning Thorbjørn Jagland hundreds of times, prompting Økokrim to search his Oslo, Risør, and Rauland properties on Thursday.
- Epstein repeatedly highlighted Jagland when courting elites, promoting hosting him at his New York and Paris properties in the 2010s to impress Richard Branson, Larry Summers, Bill Gates, and Steve Bannon.
- In emails to influential figures, Epstein touted Jagland, saying in 2012 `head of the nobel peace prize` was staying with him and messaging Bannon in 2018 that `Donald's head would explode` if he knew Bannon was close to Jagland.
- Økokrim charged Jagland, 75, and said it will probe whether gifts, travel, or loans linked to his role; Elden law firm denies allegations, and he was questioned by Norwegian police on Thursday.
- During Jagland's 2009–2015 chairmanship, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Obama and the EU, and his Epstein ties, brokered by Terje Rød Larsen, could impact the committee's reputation.
