How Jeffrey Epstein Used the Glamour of the Nobel Peace Prize to Entice His Global Network of Elites

Norwegian prosecutors charge Thorbjørn Jagland with aggravated corruption after investigating gifts and travel linked to his Nobel Committee role, following Justice Department file disclosures.

  • On Thursday, Økokrim charged Thorbjørn Jagland, former head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee , with `aggravated corruption` after the U.S. Department of Justice release last month and searched his Oslo, Risør, and Rauland properties.
  • On Thursday, Økokrim filed charges against Jagland, citing files released last month by the DOJ that journalists are reviewing, mentioning Jagland hundreds of times.
  • In emails and texts, Epstein told Richard Branson in 2013 that Jagland would stay with him, adding: `if you are there, you might find him interesting`, and texted Bannon in 2018 that `monday will decide the nobel peace prize`.
  • Jagland's attorneys at Elden said he denies the charges and was questioned by police on Thursday; Larsen, Norwegian diplomat, and his wife also face corruption charges in Norway.
  • Although no evidence of outright lobbying exists, Jagland chaired the Nobel committee when the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to winners Barack Obama and the European Union, highlighting the significance of the files.
